Confluence For Teams - Part 5 / 14

Introduction

This is a part 5 of my 14 part free cartoon-based course, Making Confluence Work, that I created for my Learn By Cartoon site back in 2017. The course is now entirely free, and runs for 1.5 hours, split into 14 parts of 5 - 10 minutes. Although there have been some cosmetic changes to Confluence since, this content is still relevant for teams.

In several large corporates that I've been attached to, and who used Confluence, each one has failed to use or understand the basics of Confluence page editing. This is routinely caused by little to no training on the basics of how Confluence is built to operate, and no focus on the good habits that make Confluence work.

I've routinely spoken with long-time Confluence users who didn't even understand the Page History feature of Confluence, or its non-destructive editing. With no time taken for any basic training or introduction to this wonderful collaboration tool, or establishment of the habits essential to get the most from it - these companies get perhaps 30% ROI value from Confluence.

By implementing some basic team training, to understand what the tool is actually designed to accomplish, and by then establishing good team habits - you can easily crank your Confluence ROI up to 80%. This is easy to do!

Confluence is 'not just a wiki' - it's a collaboration tool.
