Confluence Setup in Durham
Setting up Confluence for Durham organisations, with the space architecture decided before people start writing. Spaces are the unit of permission and organisation, and the choice between one per team and one per subject determines whether documentation can be found by people outside the team that wrote it.
Why this comes up
The problem
Documentation needs a home, the organisation already runs Jira, and a wiki set up without structure will be unusable within a year.
What you get
What we deliver
- Space architecture agreed — by team, by product or by audience
- Permissions set at space level, since this is where access is genuinely controlled
- Templates built for the documents people actually produce repeatedly
- Labels applied consistently, because search across spaces depends on them
- Jira linking configured, as the connection between the two is the main advantage
- A rule about what belongs here rather than in Jira or a file share

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Confluence Setup in Durham — common questions
- How should spaces be organised?
- By how people look for things rather than by the organisation chart. Team spaces are the obvious choice and hide documentation from everyone outside that team, which is precisely the failure. Subject or product spaces surface material to the people who need it.
- What is the advantage over other wikis?
- The Jira relationship. Linking pages to issues, embedding live issue lists in a specification and moving between the two without losing context is what Confluence does that general documentation tools do not. If you do not use Jira, that advantage does not apply.
- Why do labels matter?
- Because search across spaces relies on them. Without a small agreed set of labels, finding every runbook or every policy means knowing which space it lives in. Agreeing a handful and using them consistently costs nothing and makes the wiki navigable.
- What should not go in Confluence?
- Anything that is really a task, a record or a file. Teams that track work in pages recreate Jira badly, and using it as a document store recreates a file share with worse search. Being explicit about the boundary keeps each tool doing what it does well.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
