Confluence is a collaborative tool that TM Forum collaborative projects use to create and collaborate on project deliverables.
Creating your Confluence account is a simple 3 step process:
A Confluence account also grants access to JIRA, the agile development and tracking tool. You can use your same login information to access both Confluence and JIRA. These tools are designed to work together and you can easily integrate JIRA issues and Confluence pages. Here are some ideas to get started.
Once your account is set up, you should have access to your project spaces. If you are unable to find one of your projects, please contact Unknown User ([email protected]) via email at [email protected] for assistance.
Tutorials abound for learning to use Confluence. We recommend starting by browsing Getting Started in Confluence. Another great reference is this blog A Technical Writer’s Guide to Technical Documentation in a Wiki.
When you go to create a new Confluence page you are given the option to use a template. Currently we have the following templates developed and available for use:
Confluence has great team Calendar functionality that you will be able to make use of in your project teams to build your meeting schedule and advise teams of when and where meetings are taking place. What's more in allows you to plug in to your calendar app of choice to get automatic updates (no more meeting requests!).
Each Team's space will come equipped with it's own Calendar by default but it is super-easy to add an additional one if needed.
For more information on how to use the Team Calendar functionality see here
