Confluence is absolute garbage. Atlassian uses the interrupt early and often design philosophy. It’s next to impossible to just write in flow with confluence. Formatting never works, it’s actively worse than simply composing in notepad. Also discovery is laughable. Confluence is where documentation goes to die. I’ve often found myself knowing that a document exists, some key words and what team owns it and I’m still utterly unable to find it. Documentation discovery is like thing two after “get out of my way and let me write” Confluence is a perfect example of failure 100% in implementation. What they do is exactly right, how they do it is wrong in every way. I’ve used a dozen documentation tools and I tell you confluence is worse than nothing. I’d you have nothing at least you didn’t waste time writing something nobody can ever find.

It’s bundled with jira though and jira is how most companies do scrum or agile or whatever planning work in sprints is called these days. Jira isn’t so bad but it brings brother confluence to the party so don’t let it in.

I use Notion these days. At least it gets out of my way and lets me write. The todo template is mostly sufficient for sprint planning.
