How Do Jira and Confluence Work Together

Quick summary

Jira and Confluence integration lets teams embed live Jira issues into Confluence pages using the Jira Issues Macro, so issue status updates in Jira are reflected in Confluence automatically. This workflow helps teams manage product roadmaps, sprint retrospectives, and release notes in one connected workspace without switching between tools.

Steps

1. Create a Confluence page and click the add icon located in the upper toolbar of your Confluence page.
2. Use the Jira Issues Macro to insert Jira issues or filters directly into your Confluence page.
3. Create a new Jira issue directly from within Confluence using the macro interface.
4. Fill in the required issue details; Confluence will display real-time Jira status updates on the page whenever the issue changes in Jira.
5. Click 'Create' to submit the new Jira issue from Confluence.
6. Use this setup to maintain product roadmaps, release notes, and sprint retrospectives in Confluence while tracking tasks in Jira.
7. A notification confirms the issue has been created and can now be viewed in Jira.
