DESCRIPTION
This presentation tells the story of a Confluence makeover that involved taking a failing, misused wiki and transforming it to support the needs of an evolving Project Management Office (PMO). From this case study, themes emerged that illuminate the practices which turn a wiki from the wrong side of the tracks to an indispensable resource for the PMO. I align features (and plug-ins) in Confluence with the practices I learned that will make projects run smoothly. I describe how Confluence can be used to enhance the mission of the Project Management Office (PMO). I identify different PMO value models and outline the major functions in relation to how they can be facilitated by Confluence. I compare varying approaches to the use of Confluence from small to large knowledge management needs. I describe how transparency can be achieved in project governance with the use of Confluence. I offer some insight into project auditing and business alignment using Confluence. I also describe how confluence can be used to strengthen operational resiliency. Through my description of this authentic case study, I lay-out best practices to using features in Confluence to support the functions of a Project Management Office.

Ask yourself…!who can see or do specific things

Confluence is only as useful as you create it to be.
Plan it. Be transparent. Audit it. Be consistent. Use it.
Thank you!
