Add release information from Azure Pipelines to Jira issues

Giving teams a choice of tools for configuring development pipelines helps establish a successful DevOps ecosystem and enhances collaboration between cross-functional teams. High performing teams operate at their best when best of breed systems work together to give a powerful development pipeline that enables users to retain context as they move between systems for details.

Jira Software is an established and market leading issue tracking system, for agile teams to plan, track, and discuss work amongst them. Using Azure Pipelines, teams configure CI/CD pipelines for applications of any language, deploying to any platform or any cloud.

Azure DevOps and Atlassian have partnered together for Azure Pipelines integration with Jira software. Get started with the integration as described here. Contact Us for more details.

Azure Pipelines integration with Jira connects the two services, providing full tracking of how and when the value envisioned with an issue is delivered. Using the integration, teams can setup a tight development cycle from issue creation through release. Key development milestones for an issue can be tracked from Jira.

Associated Jira issues can also be viewed in builds and releases for a complete deployment history per environment.

It is common for teams to use Jira for issue tracking, GitHub or Azure Repos as a source repository and Azure Pipelines for CI/CD. Developers use smart commit syntax to link their commits to Jira issues, while Azure Pipelines automatically keeps track of the commits consumed in each build and release.

By adding build and release information from Azure Pipelines to associated issues, we complete a three-way linking of information. Teams can start from any of the three services to get planning, development and deployment details for a capability. Jira users can understand whether the feature can be used by end customers, developers can track whether their commits have been deployed to production, and release managers can create release notes in a jiffy.

Get started by installing Azure Pipelines integration with Jira to connect your Azure DevOps organizations with your Jira cloud instance. You can connect multiple organizations with one Jira instance and get data for all your teams and related projects. Learn more
