Planning your Confluence site

Setting up Confluence is a straightforward task. However, if you do this within a company, you need careful planning. This way, you can foresee your needs, what you can do with this product, the essential decisions, and the risks.

An environment that hosts the knowledge that a large team develops daily can quickly get out of control if not meticulously designed. Content may become inaccurate or outdated, difficult to find and understand, and even cause information security, compliance, and other legal issues. With good planning, you can avoid most of these risks. If you want to gain resistance against all these risks, we recommend you consider the planning process. This way, you can make the right decisions and establish and maintain a collaborative working platform that your teams will enjoy using, while avoiding confusion and lack of motivation among teammates.
