JIRA and Confluence for
Agile in distributed teams
And the many, many pitfalls….
Friday, 4 July 14
Key points
• Information wants to be free
• Meeting notes are your friend
• JIRA can over-complicate user story management
• Make sure external users have training
• How to effectively communicate
Friday, 4 July 14
Can’t you just email it to me?
No.
Friday, 4 July 14
This guy is your enemy
Don’t let him sabotage your project
Friday, 4 July 14
Wallboards save lives
But remember some teams work differently…
Friday, 4 July 14
Friday, 4 July 14
Summary of all tasks
Single page view accessible to all teams
Friday, 4 July 14
JIRA or Confluence?
Which system should I create my stories in?
Friday, 4 July 14
JIRA can confuse people
User stories want to live in Confluence until they’re
signed off and ready for development
Friday, 4 July 14
–Supplier Project Manager at the end of Sprint 4
“You know I wasn’t convinced, but this JIRA
thing is awesome”
Friday, 4 July 14
Confluence can work better
Stories are simpler to edit in confluence and people tend
to prefer to update them more here rather than in JIRA
Friday, 4 July 14
Create JIRA issue
This is awesome! Works on tables, will save you a heap
of time
Friday, 4 July 14
Training is a challenge
Make sure dev teams understand the concepts before
letting them loose on the system…
Friday, 4 July 14
Before training…
How not to manage a burn down chart…
Friday, 4 July 14
Getting better…
(apart from the time spent line)
Friday, 4 July 14
Communicating
information
In a controlled and collaborative manner
Friday, 4 July 14
Daily stand-up
• Every day
• Same time
• Same location
• No excuses
• No disruptive team members!
• Keep it to the point
• No whinging
• Take it offline
Friday, 4 July 14
Wallboards again
Seriously, they’re really important!
(and can be used for a Nerf gun scoreboard and sweepstakes…)
Friday, 4 July 14
Governance
Painful but necessary, stakeholders from all teams
Friday, 4 July 14
Co-location
If you can, do it once a week…
…then go to the pub, relationships count.
Friday, 4 July 14
Biggest learnings
• The tools do matter, having 3rd parties in a single system helps,
a lot!
• Relationships can be neglected when teams are separated, co-
locate, video-conference.
• Page restrictions cause pain - use only for commercially
sensitive information
• Get people on-board. Some people don’t like JIRA, those
people sometimes need a cattle prod…
• Sometimes JIRA is overkill, particularly for non-technical teams,
use what’s appropriate for the audience
