We all know it and hate it — the dreaded “status meeting.” They’re great when it’s a small team, but they don’t scale and become a waste of time. In this session, we’ll show how to use Confluence and Atlas to keep teams in sync, async, while empowering them to continue using the apps that let them thrive.
