Which is better: Bamboo Specs or UI-based configuration?

Neither wins outright — the right choice depends on team size and how long the plan will live.

Specs wins for anything long-lived or shared across a team: it's reviewable in a pull request, diffable, and reusable across similar plans, which matters once you have more than a handful of pipelines or more than one person touching them. It also avoids the classic failure mode of UI-only setups, where a plan quietly drifts because a change was made by one admin and never documented.

UI configuration wins for quick, one-off experimentation — testing whether a new task type works, or spinning up a throwaway plan to debug an agent issue — where writing and committing a Specs file is more overhead than the task deserves.

In practice, most teams start in the UI to learn how a plan should look, then "export" that shape into Specs once it's stable enough to be worth versioning.
