Though we called it The Confluence Simplify project, our complete overhaul of the navigation experience in Confluence was anything but simple. With a goal to make the product more accessible, understandable, and useful to every user and every team, we were challenged to do this radical project in an incremental way.
Knowing that large visual changes to products can fail spectacularly, we've done everything we can to validate what we're building, ship fast, and ship often. Come hear how we implemented this change, what we learned while attempting this project, and how you can apply these learnings to your nice big audacious project!

do. I like what it does, if it was just simplified
it would be great.
