Confluence

Confluence was created in 2004 by Atlassian to provide a collaborative workspace for teams to manage and share documents and knowledge. It aimed to improve project collaboration and streamline content management within organizations.

Strengths of Confluence include robust collaboration features, seamless integration with other Atlassian products, and extensive customization options. Weaknesses involve a steep learning curve for new users and potentially high costs for larger teams. Competitors include Microsoft SharePoint, Notion, and Google Workspace.

A Confluence expert must have skills in configuring and customizing Confluence spaces and pages, managing user permissions, integrating Confluence with other tools (e.g., Jira), creating and maintaining macros, scripting with Confluence's REST API, and troubleshooting technical issues.
