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.
