You’re already an Atlassian practitioner: you design workflows, structure spaces, and keep teams aligned.

Sometimes, though, you want Jira or Confluence to behave just a little more like your organization. That’s where Forge can help.
In this session, Caterina Curti (Developer Advocate, Atlassian) will give you a practical, beginner‑friendly introduction to Forge—the cloud platform for extending Jira, Confluence, and more—without expecting you to be a full‑time developer.

We’ll start with the essentials:

What Forge is and how it fits into your existing Atlassian Cloud stack

Typical scenarios where a small Forge extension can complement your current configuration

The key resources, tutorials, and example apps to get you started quickly

Then we’ll dive into live demos of projects you can reuse and adapt in your own site, including:

Custom fields and macros that load external data into Jira and Confluence

More powerful dashboards that visualize the exact metrics your team cares about

Admin tools that simplify day‑to‑day management and governance tasks

A link enforcer pattern to keep your content and issues consistent

How to combine Forge and Automation so you can build once and let rules do the heavy liftin

There is so much we can do with Forge—join us to get a first understanding and see what’s possible.
