Planview AgilePlace is a powerful Lean-Kanban tool that enables teams to visualize and manage their work processes. It is popular with IT Operations teams because it allows more flexibility than a traditional software development tool. Meanwhile, many development teams use JIRA, an Agile tool, for issue and project tracking. Integrating Planview AgilePlace with JIRA can help you achieve greater visibility across your software development processes. Read to learn how Kanban with JIRA and Planview AgilePlace can help your teams deliver faster and collaborate more effectively.
ABOUT THE INTEGRATION
AgilePlace’s integrations are powered by TaskTop and provide fully automated, bidirectional synchronization. This gives you full flexibility to configure how Planview AgilePlace and JIRA work together to meet your organization’s unique integration needs.
KANBAN WITH JIRA: USE CASES
Here are a few examples of how integrating Planview AgilePlace with JIRA can help your software development teams operate more efficiently and effectively.
IMPROVING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN DEV AND OPS
If your QA and Development teams are using JIRA to manage their work, and your IT Operations teams are using Planview AgilePlace, the Planview AgilePlace-JIRA integration can improve communication and flow between these two teams. Using the integration can help keep everyone aligned on the priority and status of work.
INCREASING VISIBILITY AT EVERY LEVEL
Another common use case for this integration is using Planview AgilePlace to enable Lean project portfolio management, while using JIRA to manage work at the team level. Many organizations use epics in JIRA to represent projects and features, breaking them down into stories and tasks at the team level.
This is great for teams, but it can be challenging for leaders to understand the status of initiatives when they are broken down to this level of granularity. It can also be difficult for leaders to see where they can jump in to remove obstacles blocking progress. Integrating Planview AgilePlace with JIRA gives everyone, including stakeholders, the visibility they need to enable progress.
BENEFITS OF USING Planview AgilePlace KANBAN WITH JIRA
The Planview AgilePlace-JIRA integration ensures that Planview AgilePlace and JIRA always stay in sync, status updates are automatically radiated in real-time, and team-level execution stays aligned with business strategy.
