Novomatic, a global leader in gaming technology, faced challenges in structuring project documentation as part of their Project Management Office (PMO) procedures. With over 1,500 documented projects and more than 20 teams involved, efficient navigation and accessibility
of project data were crucial. By implementing Navitabs – Navigation Macros for Confluence in Novomatic’s PMO, Almarise helped optimize the company’s project documentation process. As an Atlassian Platinum Enterprise Partner with over 10 years of experience in implementing Atlassian Software and Agile Solutions across various applications and organizations worldwide, Almarise improved efficiency for all the teams involved.

Novomatic needed a structured approach to organizing project documentation within Confluence. The lack of a clear navigation framework resulted in inefficiencies, as team members had to scroll through extensive content to find relevant information. This hindered collaboration, delayed decision-making, and reduced productivity.

Almarise identified that Navitabs was already integrated into Novomatic’s Confluence environment. Originally used for structuring data on plugins and employees, Navitabs provided an intuitive solution to improve project documentation. The built-in Confluence features, such as labels, allowed for easy and straightforward configuration without additional customization.

The structured navigation ensured that project descriptions and definitions were readily accessible, providing stakeholders with a clear, organized view of necessary details from various contributors across the organization. The screenshot below displays horizontally arranged tabs, each corresponding to a different aspect of the project, such as Project Proposal Summary, Project Description, Scope, Timeline, Risks, Deliverables, Budget, Additional Costs, and Machines. These tabs offer a well-organized method for categorizing project-related information, enabling users to find specific details effortlessly without excessive navigation. Additionally, they allow for quick transitions between sections while maintaining context.
