Although the live sessions have passed, each course is now available to watch on-demand. If you have any questions throughout any of the course content, we encourage you to leave comments on the session recordings or on this post!

You’ve got your strategy and plans all laid out. Now, it’s time to execute. In this session, we’ll discuss how to push work forward in Confluence.

3️⃣ Confluence for Marketers | Project share-outs and retros

The final step in every marketing campaign is sharing out the impact and reflecting on ways to improve for the future.

I'm excited to offer this series and really looking forward to what folks think of it! Definitely worth dropping in, and bring your questions about how you can use Confluence to help your marketing efforts.

I feel like whiteboards could be a cool way to 'get more marketers' onboard with Confluence. It's quite a cool content type which you can use to put all those thoughts in one place.

I'll have to create a playlist of these videos and share it with the team once everything is out :)

Project execution sounds great and fun, will be back here post session. Thanks @Robert Hean

I learned some great uses for the databases in Confluence.  I was not aware that it could be used to create a communication plan for a project.  This is a use case that I can try it out for a current project.

I learned how to better organize confluence and integrate JIRA work items for a single view.  Thank you so much Rob!

[Beth Tucker]

Received so much good info today one in particular is how to keep items organized.  It’s great to keep everything in one place so that I don’t have other teammates hitting me up for info. Makes it much more efficient and I can keep focused on the work at hand.

Nice job by @Robert Hean !! Learned more about Confluence Databases, which I had not used yet. 

[Karolin de Kort]

Special thanks to @Robert Hean for insightful sessions!

In Session 1, I found the concept of Live Docs especially useful for real-time collaboration and will explore using Whiteboards for future project planning and brainstorming. The integration with Jira and potential for visual workflows makes Whiteboards a valuable addition to our toolkit.

In Session 2, the introduction of Databases stood out as a strong method for structuring and managing content more dynamically. I see a lot of potential in using databases to create scalable, easily searchable content libraries.

Together, the sessions provided actionable tools I can confidently integrate into future projects. 

Looking forward to the final session!

[Lynda Cline]

The information on databases is valuable. I will be investigating this further for my team.

Thanks so much for a great series, Rob! Learned a lot, as always. And now I'm here for the swanky badge!

I had no idea I could append the URL to search results and link my users directly to the search that I want them to see. That's going to be huge for us!

PS: I would love it if there was a way for me to record attendance w/ Atlassian Community without having to deal with the ACE Events page. YouTube is just more convenient for me. :)
