For years, teams have relied on dashboards to understand how work is flowing through their systems. These dashboards have become essential for answering critical questions about delivery, performance, and predictability.
But there’s a problem most teams recognize almost immediately. The decisions that matter rarely happen in dashboards. They happen in planning documents, executive updates, retrospectives, and strategy discussions. They happen in conversations, in shared documents, and in the spaces where teams collaborate to make sense of what’s going on and decide what to do next.
And more often than not, those spaces live in Confluence.
This creates a gap. Insights live in one place. Decisions happen in another.
Today, we’re closing that gap.
ActionableAgile® Analytics for Jira Cloud is now available in Confluence, making it possible to bring your delivery insights directly into the pages where your team plans, communicates, and makes decisions, without duplicating work or losing context.
From dashboards to decisions
If you’ve ever found yourself taking screenshots from Jira dashboards to include in reports, rebuilding charts manually for leadership updates, or trying to explain delivery trends without having the actual data in front of you, you’ve experienced this disconnect firsthand. It’s not just inconvenient. It affects how teams make decisions.
When insights are separated from the conversations that rely on them, they quickly become outdated, misinterpreted, or simply overlooked. Teams spend time recreating what already exists, and stakeholders make decisions without a clear, shared understanding of what’s actually happening. What’s missing is a single source of truth that follows the conversation, not just the tool.
With ActionableAgile® Analytics for Confluence, teams can now embed the same flow metrics they already rely on directly into Confluence pages. Instead of switching between tools or recreating visuals, the insights are right there, alongside the context in which they’re being discussed.
This isn’t about introducing a new reporting system or asking teams to learn something new. It’s about extending what already works. The same flow metrics you trust, Cycle Time Scatterplot, Throughput Run Chart, Aging Work in Progress, and WIP Run Chart, are now available where your team collaborates. Whether you’re reviewing performance, planning upcoming work, or aligning with stakeholders, the data is always part of the conversation.
One source of truth, everywhere it matters
At the heart of this experience is something that hasn’t changed: the data set and view model in ActionableAgile® Analytics. Everything you see in Confluence is powered by the same configurations you already use. That means there’s no duplication, no reconfiguration, and no risk of conflicting interpretations. When a view is updated, those changes are reflected instantly wherever it’s used, including in Confluence.
This consistency is what makes the experience powerful. Teams can trust that the insights they’re discussing are accurate, up to date, and aligned across every context. Instead of managing multiple versions of the same data, you maintain a single source of truth that moves with your work.
What makes this truly valuable is not just where the data appears, but how it’s used. In executive reporting, it allows leaders to see real delivery insights directly within the documents they rely on, without needing to navigate away or interpret static reports. In team reviews and retrospectives, it brings clarity to discussions about bottlenecks and performance, helping teams focus on meaningful improvements rather than assumptions.
During planning and forecasting conversations, it ensures that decisions are grounded in actual delivery data, not just estimates or expectations. And across teams, it creates a shared understanding by making the same insights visible in a consistent and accessible way.
In all of these scenarios, the goal is the same: better conversations, supported by better data.
Getting Started
Getting started is straightforward. Adding any chart to a Confluence page follows the same logic teams already know. You simply insert a macro, select your data set and view, and the chart renders automatically.
Before you begin, there are a couple of quick setup steps to ensure everything works smoothly. If you’re already using ActionableAgile® Analytics for Jira Cloud, your Jira admin just needs to connect it to Confluence. You’ll also need access to the relevant data set and permission to edit the Confluence page where you want to add the chart.
Once that’s in place, there’s no need to configure metrics again or adjust how they behave. Everything from calculations to interactions remains consistent with the Jira experience. Charts update automatically as data changes, and users can explore them with the same level of detail and interactivity they’re used to. This familiarity means teams can adopt the feature quickly, without changing how they work.
