Why teams escape the wiki
Information gets buried
Confluence is great at storing information. Terrible at surfacing it when you need it. Meeting context shouldn't require a search expedition.
Maintenance never ends
Someone has to own every space, update every page, archive the obsolete. That overhead doesn't exist with meeting-centric tools.
Adoption is always partial
Power users love Confluence. Everyone else tolerates it. Meeting prep needs 100% participation, not just from the wiki enthusiasts.
Keep Confluence for docs.
Simplify your meetings.
They can coexist. Use Confluence for long-form documentation. Use ReadyCheck for meetings that start prepared and end with clear outcomes.
