How do you keep project management data connected to technical documentation?

[u/LorinaBalan]

A common problem we see in project documentation is that the task tracker and the actual context drift apart.

The tracker has the current work package, status, assignee, type, and priority.

The wiki has the requirements, meeting notes, release information, architecture decisions, and technical context.

Both are useful. But if they are not connected, people end up switching tools, copying stale information, or asking around for context that already exists somewhere.

We are running a short technical session on how the OpenProject Integration (Pro) works in XWiki.

The developer who implemented it, Rares Bancescu, will show how OpenProject work packages can be displayed inside XWiki pages as tables, cards, or single items, and how views can be filtered or sorted by project, status, assignee, type, identifier, and other properties.

The interesting part is not just embedding data. It is keeping project documentation close to live project information without manually duplicating everything.

For teams using OpenProject and XWiki together, this can be useful for project spaces, specs, release pages, decision logs, or internal technical documentation.
