Team Journal
Team Journal is the third phase of NASA's three-phase meeting flow. After participants prepare in My Update and collaborate during the Live Meeting, the Team Journal automatically documents every meeting's final state. Each journal entry captures participant updates, flagged follow-up items, and meeting statistics as a permanent record.
The Team Journal displays a chronological record of past meetings, organized by date with navigation controls and meeting statistics.
Accessing the Team Journal
To open the Team Journal:
Select the meeting stream from the dropdown at the top of the screen.
Click Team Journal in the left sidebar navigation.
The Team Journal shows the most recent meeting by default. Use the Previous Meeting and Next Meeting buttons or the date picker to navigate between journal entries.
Journal Entry Contents
Each journal entry contains the following sections:
Meeting Statistics
Three metrics appear at the top of each journal entry:
Participation - the percentage of participants who attended, with a comparison to the previous interval.
Goals Met - the percentage of team issues completed in the current sprint or cadence.
Resolved Suggested Issues - the count of focused issues completed in the current sprint or cadence.
Follow-Up Items
Items flagged during the meeting appear in the Follow Up Items section. These are items that require post-meeting action, grouped by agenda question. If no items were flagged, the section displays "No items have been flagged in this meeting."
Team Updates
The Team Updates section shows what each participant discussed during the meeting, organized by agenda question. Each participant's name and avatar appear alongside their submitted items, including Jira issues, Confluence pages, and text entries.
Exporting to Confluence
Team Journal entries can be exported to Confluence for long-term documentation. There are two export methods.
Manual Export
To export a single journal entry manually:
Navigate to the journal entry you want to export.
Click the Export to Confluence button in the top-right corner.
Select a Confluence space and parent page.
Confirm the export.
The export dialog lets you select the target Confluence space and parent page for the exported journal.
Automatic Export
To configure automatic export for every new journal entry:
Go to Settings > General.
Expand the Team Journal Export to Confluence section.
Select a Confluence space and parent page as the target location.
Once configured, each new Team Journal entry is automatically exported after the meeting ends. See General for details on configuring automatic export.
Exported Page Content
Each exported page is a regular Confluence page that includes participant updates, agenda items, and action items from the meeting. Unlike journal entries in the app, exported Confluence pages are fully editable.
Journal Retention and Editability
The Team Journal stores the last 30 entries per stream. When this limit is reached, the oldest entry is automatically deleted. Past journal entries in the app are not editable - each entry preserves an accurate snapshot of the meeting at that moment. To retain entries beyond the 30-journal limit, set up automatic export to Confluence.
Deleting a Stream
Deleting a stream permanently deletes all of its Team Journal entries. Export important journals to Confluence before deleting a stream.
Permissions
The following roles can export Team Journal entries to Confluence:
Scrum Master and Coverer - can export manually and configure automatic export in Settings.
Participant - can view journal entries but cannot export.
