Whiteboards.io is a web app that allows anyone (whether a Jira user or not) to smoothly collaborate in various agile andproduct ceremonies. Whiteboards.io enables you to take advantage of options like audio and video chat, guest access, or feature-rich Jira integration. Your coworkers don’t need to have an active Jira/Confluence license to join your account; however, integrating these instances is possible. It’s worth noting here that Whiteboards.io respects Jira credentials and Jira content is visible and editable only to Jira users. If you invite to your board a user who doesn’t have access to that Jira project, they will still be able to use the board, but won’t see any Jira issue details.
Whiteboards for Jira (WBJ) and Whiteboards for Confluence (WBC)
Whiteboards for Jira and Whiteboards for Confluence are specific Jira and Confluence marketplace apps that require active Jira or Confluence licenses to be able to use them.
You can collaborate without leaving Jira. It’s a perfect solution for companies that require complex vetting processes to approve their apps. In this case, your onboarding and employee seat provisioning is a no-brainer. Just get your admin to approve the app and your organization and all member accounts are set up in no time.
Please bear in mind that the subscription rules for WBJ and WBC apps are very specific for Atlassian Marketplace. For instance, if you decide to purchase one, it has to correspond with your Jira/Confluence license. Suppose your Jira license allows 500 people to work on projects within your organization. In that case, the Whiteboards app also must be purchased for 500 people (or more).
If you’re not a Jira/Confluence admin, we encourage you to start using Whiteboards.io (standalone version) to try it on your own. Once properly evaluated and needed inside your Atlassian suite, you can ask your admin to approve it.
