Distributed teams, hybrid work, and fast iteration cycles—agile work comes with high demands for communication and structure. Whether you’re documenting meetings, planning sprints, or aligning on team goals, it’s crucial to keep information accessible, consistent, and up to date.
The Properties app for Confluence Cloud supports agile teams in creating clear processes and structured documentation. With Property Groups and Property Reports, teams can define exactly what kind of information they want to collect, display it in context on their pages, and generate live, filterable overviews to stay on track.
Standardize and streamline meeting notes
Agile teams often rely on frequent meetings—stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives—to keep projects moving. But without a shared format, meeting notes can become inconsistent and hard to find later.
With Properties, teams can define a reusable Property Group for meeting notes, including fields like Organizer, Date, Room, Meeting Type, Participants, or Action Items. These fields are placed directly on each Confluence page and can be filled in without switching into edit mode.
Once applied across meeting pages, a Property Report pulls all entries into a sortable, filterable table. You can quickly answer questions like: How many ad hoc meetings did we have last month? Who led most of them? Which rooms are overbooked? Instead of digging through pages, teams get a live snapshot—clickable, customizable, and always up to date.
Track and document scrum sprints
Scrum teams run in short, focused sprints—each one involving planning, review, retrospectives, and detailed coordination. But managing multiple sprints across time and teams in Confluence can be complex without a consistent system.
With Properties, teams can document each sprint using structured fields like Sprint Name, Team, Participants, Status, and links to related pages like Planning, Review, or Retro. These fields form part of a Property Group added to each sprint page.
Using a central Property Report, Scrum Masters can then generate an overview of all past and active sprints—filterable by status or team, and directly linked to their respective pages. Whether for review, planning, or reporting, the information is all in one place, and always accessible.
Visualize goals and objectives across teams
Another essential thing for teams is setting clear goals—but tracking them across individuals or other teams is often scattered and informal. Teams need a transparent way to manage who owns what, what’s in progress, and what’s been achieved.
By defining a Property Group for goals and objectives—Goal Owner, Status, Start Date, Due Date, Priority, and more—teams can document their targets in a consistent way. These fields are added to each goal page and automatically included in a summary report, giving everyone access to a live, filterable overview.
With flexible filter and display options, reports can be shown as tables or cards, customized by field, and tailored to show only the most relevant information. One glance at the summary page is enough to check progress, compare priorities, or follow up where needed—without jumping between tools.
Stay aligned in agile workflows
Whether you’re planning sprints, recording meetings, or tracking goals, Properties for Confluence Cloud helps agile teams document their work clearly and consistently.
Custom structures and real-time overviews ensure your team always knows what’s going on—without extra admin overhead.
