Advantages of integrating monday.com into Confluence
With all these options, monday can contain a wealth of information. And sometimes it’s a pity to hide it from the rest of the organization that don’t have a license to the app.
With monday.com for Confluence, publishing your boards in Atlassian’s wiki is as easy as pasting the board link into Confluence. Here are some of the most important benefits:
Break silos
It’s easy to transform the progress that is tracked on Monday into simple reports on OKRs and other team KPIs. You won’t have to work on a third reporting app, and managers and other stakeholders will have visibility over your work.
Publishing the boards in Confluence will keep everyone on the same page with always current info.
Optimize monday.com licenses.
monday.com licenses start at 8 € per user per month. That’s a bit pricy for spending seats on users who are not actively involved in the daily operations of your team.
Two apps in one tab
It’s already fine to share monday.com links with others, but it’s also very easy to lose those links… unless you save them somewhere. And what better place than Confluence?
Make Confluence more visual
Confluence is a great wiki with tons of functionalities, but it’s not the most visual tool out there. Embedding monday.com boards will make it brighter and more appealing
