Since today Doctypes for Teamwork for Confluence are available on the Atlassian Marketplace The project for the blueprint add-on has already been  released on Bitbucket on December 2017.

The blueprints provided by this add-on are used by teams in need to document their way of working. According to the documentation quadrants these blueprints are used to create documents for the process documentation quadrant 1.

The add-on provides the following blueprints – and their corresponding type doctypes to allow type-specific categorization.

Checklist
Checklists allow to run manual tasks in a defined manner. It guides the user of the checklist through a process and helping to not forget a step.
Pattern
Patterns provide solutions for problems in a given context. Patterns are usefull in multiple areas such as design, architecture, documentation, or process.
Pattern Domain
Patterns are divided into different domains to group patterns.
Project Rule
Project Rules are defined by the team to enhance the collaboration and to define project standards.
Team Process
Document processes defined and used by the team.
Tool
Document tools used by the team. Add information about how to fetch, install and best practices using it.

These new blueprints allow to define how a team decides to work.

IT Service Management

 

The Team Process doctype is a simpler version of the IT Process doctype that is part of Doctypes for Service Management.

Team members who want to document a sequence of activities for their teams usually find the Team Process doctype much easier to use.

Agile Planning

Complementary the add-on Doctypes for Agile Planning support teams collaborating on their iterations by providing the following doctypes.

Announcement
Announcements are a way to communicate an important piece of information with your team.
Improvement
Improvement proposals help to start the conversation within the team for process improvements.
Iteration
Document an Iteration that may be linked from JIRA. Allows the team to set the goal and add notes relevant to a particular iteration.
Product Backlog
Product Backlogs are means to collect user stories.
Retrospective
Record the discussion of the team about their last iteration.
Review
Plan and run your review meeting.
Review Act
A single act to show on the review. Use this only if you have a lot to show or you want to reference the review results later. Often a simple numerated list is sufficient.
User Story
User Stories document a requirement of a stakeholder with a specific business goal. It also provides an acceptance test. It is a representation of a unit of work.

Creating a collaborative work space, each iteration document is the root of collaboration work. At the end of the iteration information that is especially valuable can be moved or copied to a Topic Space.

Project Management

If your team is in demand for more project management related blueprints, the Doctypes for Project Management provide these:

Alternative
This documents a possible option for a decision. Choose this document type to describe the alternative for a decision in more detail. This is typically a subpage of a decision document.
Decision
Document a decision for an option. This is useful to state the reasons and the options that have been evaluated. Later other team members will have it easier to understand the decision.
Minutes
Record the action items of a meeting.
Open Issue
Open issues document what the team needs to know to proceed.
Release Note
Document changes provided by a release of a product.

With these blueprints teams are able to document the results of their meetings, keep track of open issues or explain their decisions.
