Jira and Confluence Installation and Setup

What Are Jira and Confluence?

Jira and Confluence are two complementary products from Atlassian. Jira is used to record, prioritize and track tasks, bugs and requests. Confluence is a shared workspace for documentation and team knowledge, used to keep documents, meeting notes, procedures and knowledge bases. Using the two together keeps work and the knowledge around it organized in one connected place.
