Collaborative management

Not sure which solution is right for you?

Let us help you understand the differences between Whiteboards as visual elements of your Confluence pages, Whiteboards as a better management app of your Jira tasks, or whiteboards.io as an effective online and asynchronous collaboration tool.

Ease the flow of your work across many solutions

No matter the solution you choose, thanks to Whiteboards you can:

Collaborate concurrently

Work with different stakeholders from your organization or partners and customers who are interested in the development of your product. Share an invite link with guests and teammates.

Populate your board with Jira stories

Insert Jira tickets directly into your whiteboard or simply create new ones from the same place. Manage their settings thanks to deep Jira integration and two-way sync.

Bulk edit Jira issues

Edit multiple Jira items in one go. Add assignees, move issues to a specific release or sprint, update status, and many more!

Add visual context to your work

Attach boards to your Jira issues or Confluence pages to visualize processes and support your team’s next big idea.

Embed anything on your boards

Populate your board with graphical elements like diagrams, mockups, flowcharts, user journeys, or mind maps to add more context to your work and keep everyone on the same page.

Boost productivity in a remote environment

Collaborate in real time or asynchronously to brainstorm the next projects and generate new ideas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to pay for three solutions separately?

No. Separate payments apply only to the purchase of the Whiteboards for Jira and Whiteboards for Confluence applications. By purchasing either of these options, you also automatically receive access to our stand-alone version for free — Whiteboards.io. Keep in mind, however, that by purchasing Whiteboards.io first, you don’t automatically receive a paid license to Whiteboards for Jira and Whiteboards for Confluence.

Will my board content be available in Whiteboards.io if I purchase Whiteboards for Jira or Whiteboards for Confluence?

Unfortunately not. By purchasing Whiteboards for Jira or Whiteboards for Confluence, you get the Whiteboards.io license for free; however, the content (any board ever created with its elements) will not be mirrored. To ensure you have all of your data or projects needed in all solutions, transfer your boards using backup files. Read more about the differences between our solutions.

Is it possible to get a custom plan of Whiteboards?

We’ll be more than happy to help you create an account tailored to your needs. Get in touch with us to discuss your requirements regarding data migration, user provisioning, security, billing, or support.

What are the payment options when purchasing Whiteboards solutions?

All of our solutions, Whiteboards.io, Whiteboards for Jira, and Whiteboards for Confluence, can be purchased on both a monthly and annual basis. In the case of the Whiteboards.io solution, we offer our own pricing; in the case of the other two solutions, all payments are made within the Atlassian ecosystem.
