Wiki

Nice Pick

Developers should use wikis when they need to maintain up-to-date documentation, share technical knowledge across teams, or collaborate on project specifications in a centralized, accessible format

Pros

  • +They are particularly valuable in agile development environments for sprint planning, API documentation, and onboarding new team members, as they reduce information silos and improve transparency
  • +Related to: markdown, version-control

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Confluence

Developers should learn Confluence when working in teams that require structured documentation, knowledge sharing, or project tracking, especially in Agile or DevOps environments

Pros

  • +It is valuable for creating technical documentation, onboarding guides, design specifications, and maintaining a single source of truth for project information, reducing communication gaps and improving productivity
  • +Related to: jira, bitbucket

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Wiki if: You want they are particularly valuable in agile development environments for sprint planning, api documentation, and onboarding new team members, as they reduce information silos and improve transparency and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Confluence if: You prioritize it is valuable for creating technical documentation, onboarding guides, design specifications, and maintaining a single source of truth for project information, reducing communication gaps and improving productivity over what Wiki offers.
