How Gliffy Completes the Atlassian Teamwork Collection

Modern teams move fast, but speed alone doesn’t guarantee progress. 

As organizations scale, technical complexity increases: systems grow more distributed, architectures evolve rapidly, and knowledge becomes harder to keep aligned across teams. 

That’s exactly the challenge Atlassian’s Teamwork Collection is designed to solve as it brings the convenience of video and the speed of AI into your work and knowledge management systems, helping your team collaborate more effectively and deliver results faster.  

The Teamwork Collection is a great starting point for your journey into the Atlassian ecosystem, but it’s just that—the start. The most successful teams using the Teamwork Collection also equip themselves with Marketplace apps to fit their unique needs. 

In this blog, we’ll explore Gliffy’s role in the Teamwork Collection and how it can help your team realize the Teamwork Collection’s full value. 

 To learn more about what’s included in the Teamwork Collection and the rest of the collections available for your team, check out our blog on Atlassian Collections. 

Visualize Complex Systems Where Knowledge Lives 

Teams are moving faster than ever, but often in the wrong directions. Text-heavy documentation slows comprehension of architectures, workflows, and dependencies, leading to misalignment and rework. 

To address this issue, technical teams rely on diagrams to explain how systems work, but too often, those diagrams live outside documentation. When diagrams live in separate tools or static files, they quickly go stale and fall out of sync with reality. 

Gliffy puts professional technical diagramming directly into Confluence, the knowledge hub of the Teamwork Collection. Diagrams remain versioned, discoverable, and tied to the documentation and work they support. 

By adding Gliffy to the Atlassian Teamwork Collection, teams can:  

• Create production-grade technical diagrams directly in Confluence 
• Use AI to go from text to structured diagrams in seconds  
• Keep architecture, workflows, and system knowledge fully connected to Jira work and Confluence documentation 

The result is shared understanding, built directly into the place where your team already collaborates. 

Eliminate Blank-Page Friction with AI Diagramming 

Creating accurate technical diagrams takes time, and when teams are under delivery pressure, documentation is often delayed or skipped entirely.  

Adding Gliffy to the Atlassian Teamwork Collection removes the hardest part: starting. With AI-powered diagramming, teams can describe a system in plain text, and Gliffy generates a structure, editable diagram in seconds.  

With Gliffy, teams can: 

• Generate flowcharts, UML class diagrams, and sequence diagrams from text 
• Rapidly iterate as systems evolve 
• Skip template hunting by building diagrams tailored to your specific use case 

Keep Documentation Caught Up with Delivery 

For delivery-focused teams, documentation often lags behind because it feels like overhead—something teams promise to “do later.” 

When AI-powered diagramming lives inside your Atlassian environment, documentation becomes part of the delivery flow, not a separate task. Diagrams are created at the moment understanding is needed: during design, handoffs, or reviews.  

This shift unlocks real, measurable advantages: 

• Faster onboarding with immediate visual system context 
• Fewer meetings spent “explaining the architecture” 
• Clearer handoffs between engineering, platform, and IT teams 

Diagrams stop being optional artifacts and become shared tools for collaboration. 

Gliffy’s Proven Success at Scale 

Gliffy is trusted by technical teams documenting real, production systems: 

• Native Confluence Cloud app with 18,000+ installs 
• AI generates complex technical diagrams in seconds—directly in Confluence 
• Designed for architects, engineers, platform teams, and IT leaders 

While many teams may hesitate to adopt AI diagramming tools out of concern for security, compliance, and data governance, especially in regulated environments, Gliffy is purpose-built for enterprise Confluence Cloud environments, with strong security posture and responsible AI practices that align with Atlassian’s highest standards.  

Trust Signals 

Gliffy provides enterprise-ready assurance with:  

• SOC 2 Type II compliance 
• ISO 42001 certification for responsible AI management 
• Atlassian Platinum Partner status 
• Native Confluence Cloud experience, minimizing data sprawl and admin overhead
