In this episode of The Jira Life, we sit down with Robert Hean of Hean Tech to explore how Confluence documentation is evolving in the age of Rovo and Atlassian Intelligence.As AI teammates like Rovo become part of everyday work, the quality of your documentation matters more than ever. We discuss what “good documentation” really means today, common mistakes teams make in Confluence, and how to structure content so Rovo can deliver accurate, helpful answers instead of amplifying documentation chaos.Robert shares practical strategies for creating AI-ready Confluence spaces, improving knowledge discoverability, and aligning documentation practices with modern Jira and Jira Service Management workflows. Whether you are an Atlassian admin, documentation owner, or team lead preparing for AI-powered collaboration, this conversation will help you future-proof your knowledge base.

Order in the court! This week on The Jira Life, we’re putting Jira on trial. The charge? Being a tool only for technical teams.In this special jury-style debate, we’ll examine both sides of the case:🔹The Prosecution: Jira is built for software teams, too complex for others🔹The Defense: Non-technical teams thrive with Jira — marketing, HR, legal, ops, and more🔹 The Jury (You!): Decide whether Jira is guilty or not guilty of being “too technical”We’ll bring evidence, real-world examples, and strong arguments — and then let the community weigh in with their verdict.So… is Jira just for engineers, or can anyone put it to work? Tune in and help us settle the case once and for all.Thank you to Revyz for backing us up and making The Jira Life possible. https://www.revyz.io/The Jira Life=====================================Having trouble keeping up with when we are live?
