Where to store Task Lists

[Francis]

We use Confluence and Jira.

When we have a meeting we keep the meetings notes in Confluence - and also the TODOS. Which is not optimal, because there is no proper way to track TODOs in Confluence.

Jira would be perfect for this, but is not the right place for meeting notes.

Best would be a mix of Confluence and Jira.

What is your solution for this problem?

Hi @Francis ,

Task List and Task report macros are provided in Conflunce, which can be used for simple task tracking.

If you need something more complicated, you can create an instance directly in Jira and display it via the Jira issue filter macro in Confluence.

Hi,

it all depends, if all your meeting participants can and do use Jira or not.

If everybody uses Jira, create JIra issues in an open ToDo project (One issue type ToDo, simple workflow Open->Done, read/writeable for everyone)

If you are split up having Jira & non JIra users (eg. external consultants etc.) you'll have to mix up Jira issues & Confluence tasks.

There is one app on the marketplace able to display Confluence tasks & Jira issues in one report (TaskOne). We use it for exactly this use-case.

My approach would be to create one Confluence page plus one Jira Issue per meeting.

In Confluence I keep the meeting minutes and create a link to the Jira Issue.

Every time a TODO is identified I create a Sub Task in the linked Jira Issue.

How does that sound?

If this works for you and you are happy with it, it sounds great :) 

These "workarounds" have to work for those people, who have the "problem". I can't say yes, thats good for you :-) 

From the technical view, this should work.

Hi @Francis 

I agree with you. 

You can track the tasks in confluence in your profile, as described here.

What works well for us is this use case:

• Create the meeting page in confluence
• Add tasks with the link to the jira item (Any task, even if it's really small)
• from this moment on, the task will be tracked in jira and confluence doesn't matter anymore. 

Hope that helped.
