Measuring employee performance demands more than traditional quarterly reviews and subjective feedback in today’s rapidly digitalizing work environment. Companies are turning to integrated, data-driven solutions to objectively track performance, boost productivity, and drive continuous improvement. By harnessing the power of Jira and Confluence, along with specialized apps like Smart Attachments for Jira, Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence, and izi – LMS for Confluence, you can create a seamless performance management ecosystem that supports both real-time analytics and ongoing employee development.

The Digital Shift in Employee Performance Evaluation

The transformation to remote work and digital collaboration has reshaped how companies monitor team performance. With in-person interactions limited, managers face challenges in capturing real-time, objective insights into employee contributions. Traditional review methods—often dependent on sporadic meetings and anecdotal evidence—can miss the nuances of day-to-day work. Now, a robust digital strategy is essential:

  • Continuous Feedback: Real-time data capture at key workflow stages helps eliminate the bias of retrospective evaluations.
  • Data-Driven Insights: Automated metrics provide clear trends, helping managers pinpoint strengths and areas for improvement.
  • Integrated Systems: Leveraging the power of Jira and Confluence ensures that performance metrics are not siloed but become part of everyday operations.

Optimizing Employee Performance Analytics in Jira

Jira has long been the go-to platform for task tracking and project management. Its flexibility makes it an ideal hub for gathering employee performance data. As tasks are completed and closed, performance metrics—such as delivery speed, work quality, and process adherence—can be automatically captured within your existing workflows.

The Smart Attachments for Jira app elevates employee performance tracking by streamlining attachment management. It helps you link relevant documents, work samples, feedback forms, and project artifacts to corresponding Jira issues. This ensures that every performance record is enriched with contextual evidence, making it easier for managers to review contributions and make informed decisions.
Performance review

Key benefits include:

  • Automated Documentation: No more manual uploads—relevant files are linked to each task.
  • Enhanced Visibility: Managers can quickly access supporting documents, facilitating objective performance analysis.
  • Seamless Integration: The Smart Attachments app works directly within Jira, complementing existing workflows without added complexity.

Visualizing Employee Performance Data in Confluence

Raw data is only as valuable as your ability to interpret it. Once your employee performance data is captured in any form, exporting it to Confluence allows for dynamic visualization and deeper analysis. The Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence app is designed to transform CSV data into interactive dashboards, pivot tables, and charts that track performance over time.

How It Works:

  1. Data Export: Save your performance metrics as a CSV file.
  2. Confluence Integration: Attach the CSV file to a Confluence page and use the CSV macro to display the data in a table.

In this blog post, we’ll tell you more about the Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence app and the free inbuilt Confluence Chart macro.

Confluence’s native Chart Macro

It is the native macro bundled within Confluence. It offers you the following capabilities:

  • supports Pie Chart, Bar Chart, 3D Bar Chart, Time Series Chart, XY Line Chart, XY Area Chart, Area Charts, Gantt Chart
  • has a large number of settings to adjust and customize your graphs
  • requires edit mode to configure the macro settings
  • covers all simple cases when you need to draw a graph

For example, you can create an Area chart as follows:

 

Or render a 3D Bar chart:

Or see the ratio between different entities with a Pie chart, like the following one:

Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets

Graphs are a part of the functionality that the Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets app offers. The app is a pretty useful and flexible solution that includes several macros for various purposes. These are three of its most popular features:

  • Table Filter helps you filter complex and large tables on the fly right when viewing or editing a Confluence page.
  • Pivot Table allows you to create a pivot table with aggregated and summarized values from big and complex tables.
  • Chart from Table can draw graphs using data from the tables (macro-generated tables also supported).
  • Table Spreadsheet allows you to utilize the benefits of Excel-like spreadsheets right on your Confluence pages.

Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets is available for Cloud and Data Center Confluence versions, so you can use all of the macros regardless of your hosting type.

As for the Chart from table Macro, you can use it to create the following chart types:

  • Gantt chart
  • Pie and Donut chart
  • Bubble Pie chart
  • Column, Stacked Column, Bar, Stacked Bar chart
  • Line, Area, Stacked Area chart
  • Time Line, Time Area, Stacked Time – Area chart
  • Radar (Spider) chart
  • Contiguity / Barcode chart
  • Scatter plot
  • Punchcard

Graph samples with Chart from Table

You can build charts instantly in the view mode from a regular or macro generated table.

For example, let’s create pie charts with the monthly sales analysis, as follows:

Or create a stacked column chart to see the overall picture against multiple indicators, like this:

You can also use a multi-column chart to see the progress and trend over some time period, as follows:

Or build a Gantt chart to track the workflow of a project:

You can instantly modify the chart settings while viewing the page by using the settings panel on the side. If you need to change the source table, the chart will update automatically. After you finish setting up the chart, you can download it as a picture, or export it into a PDF or a Word file.

Combining the macros

Let’s see how you can use the other macros from the Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets bundle to up your charting game.

The Table Filter macro allows you to filter any table right in the page view or edit modes. The table will be immediately redrawn depending on the specified filter values. The rich set of filters helps you easily handle multi-format data turning large and complex tables into smaller, simpler ones.

With the Pivot Table macro, you can aggregate data from bigger tables with repeated values. Pivot tables help you simplify the information in a table before turning it into a chart.

You may combine all these three macros from the Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets app into a single data processing mechanism using the Table Toolbox macro (in Cloud). In such a way, you can even draw graphs from the filtered pivot table. And, of course, if you make some changes in filtration or graphs settings, the dashboard will be automatically updated according to your changes.

Alternatively, you can process your table data as a spreadsheet by wrapping a table into into the Spreadsheet from Table macro. It will transform the table into a spreadsheet which you can process similarly to Excel or Google Sheets further on. It also has various visualization capabilities, so if you prefer working with spreadsheets while analyzing data through charts and graphs, it can be done too.

How to get and visualize data from Jira in Confluence

Of course, Atlassian supplies you with the out-of-the-box Jira integration in Confluence. If you use Confluence Server or Data Center, you need to set up an application link to your Jira instance. In Confluence Cloud, you can simply paste a URL to Jira into the page, and it will convert into the Jira Issues macro. Then you’ll be able to receive and handle your Jira data. You can visualize it with the Jira Chart macro (Jira filters and JQL queries are supported). Three types of charts are available:

  • Pie Chart from Jira
  • Created vs. Resolved Chart from Jira
  • Jira Two Dimensional Chart

An example of a pie chart with the number of issues per assignee will look like this:

The comparison of created against resolved issues looks like this:

The sample two-dimensional chart looks like this:

Alternatively, you can process the incoming Jira data with the Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence app. With its help, you can build a chart from the table containing Jira issues or apply the Pivot Table macro and then create a chart from the calculated pivot table. You can also filter the issues if the list is too big. Of course, you can use the Jira macro filtration, but it is much more flexible and convenient to use the Table Filter macro. In this case, you can make changes on the fly, and graphs will be redrawn automatically. Combo!

5 Tips to Become a Gantt Chart Expert Using Atlassian Confluence

February 5, 2024
#How To#Confluence Tutorial#Confluence#Reporting
12 min

Imagine you have to visualize a long-term project in the simplest way possible. What is the first solution that comes to your mind? Most project managers would say that a Gantt chart can be a lifesaver. This powerful tool for project planning helps you display the sequence of the main project stages and tasks and their duration within one chart. For this purpose, this is the most illustrative method so far.

Consider the following situation: you are in charge of a new project. Unexpectedly, the vice president of your company has requested a detailed one-page project timeline to look through as soon as possible.

Let’s look at what you have now:

  • all deadlines written in separate sticky notes
  • the project tasks placed on several Confluence pages
  • the key events marked in the team calendar

You’ve been given an hour to assemble all this information on one Confluence page.

In this situation, Table Filter and Charts for Confluence will help you complete this challenging task. In this blog post, we will show you how the Chart from Table macro, one of this app’s three most popular macros, allows you to visualize your data easily using a Gantt chart.

Build the simplest Gantt chart in a few clicks

You can create a simple Gantt chart using a three-column table containing tasks and start and end days.

Add the Chart from Table macro, choose the chart type, and specify the settings.

Labels Column:

  • Task Type

Values Column:

  • Start Day
  • End Day

The chart is simplistic and bright. The diagram shows you all the main stages of the project. The system counts the number of days within each stage. When you hover over the bar, you can see the duration of the selected project stage.

Add task descriptions and completion bar

The previous chart looks good, however, it can present the information even more effectively. The chart displays the required project scopes, but the time frames remain unspecified and too long.

You can break down each project stage into your current tasks to make your chart more informative. You add a task description column to the table and specify the duration of task realization.

Add the completion column to the table to show the progress bars on the chart:

Labels Column:

  • Task Type
  • Task Description

Values Column:

  • Start Day
  • End Day
  • Completion

The bars allow you to get more information about the progress of each task.

Pro tip:

Outline milestones

The chart looks much better now. However, there is always space for improvement. The app also helps you add milestones to Gantt charts.

Milestones are key events of a project. The team is only able to proceed if the milestone is complete. You can insert the additional small table into one macro body to display the milestones on your chart. Do this in the edit mode.

After that, choose the settings.

Labels Column:

  • Task Type
  • Task Description
  • Milestone

Values Column:

  • Start Day
  • End Day
  • Completion
  • Date

The milestones are marked with an asterisk. You can see the detailed milestone descriptions when you hover over the asterisks.

Don’t forget about planned activities

You can also mark the project’s key activities on the chart to prioritize them and collaborate more effectively.

All you need to do is insert the events table into one macro body and set additional labels and values columns in the chart settings. The app allows you to add the “today” event.

Add the correct columns into the settings.

Labels Column:

  • Task Type
  • Task Description
  • Milestone
  • Events

Values Column:

  • Start Day
  • End Day
  • Completion
  • Date

It means that when you open a page with a chart, you will see the line that shows where you are at the moment. This way, you get a bird’s-eye view of all project stages, enabling you to see the project time frame and progress.

Last but not least, you can set dependencies between tasks. This helps you understand what you need to prioritize and complete before moving on to the next stage.

If you want to focus on a more specific period without losing the rest of the data, you can zoom in on the Gantt chart. Hold down the Ctrl button and rotate the wheel on your mouse to zoom the chart in or out. Afterward, you can move around the chart by pressing Ctrl (for Windows) or Alt (for MacOS) and dragging the chart in the necessary direction.

Customize your chart and share the results

Now, you need to change the bars’ colors and set the titles to match your brand book guidelines.

You can select more appropriate colors for each type of task or each task in particular.

If standard app colors don’t match your company style or satisfy you, specify the colors for each task in a table.

Pick colors from this list or set your HEX codes.

Now that you’re ready with all the information on the project, it’s time to present your boss with the Gantt chart you created.

Here’s how you can share your Gantt chart with your boss and your colleagues:

  • export the Gantt chart or the Confluence page to Word or PDF
  • share the link to the page

Since your boss asked you to show the project schedule in Confluence, the second option would suit you best.

Bonus tip: make your Confluence tables and graphs look more professional

We created a Gantt chart from scratch with the help of the Table Filter and Charts app, but you can do a lot more. Try this handy solution for free to discover all of its features:

You can manage your tables in Confluence on the fly using a bundle of this app’s easy-to-use and fully customizable macros. Check out how user-friendly features Table Filter and Charts are and elevate your tables in Confluence to the next level.
