Article Summary

Jira is a software development tool used for issue tracking and project management. It is designed to help teams plan, track, and discuss work across multiple projects. Jira is widely used in the software industry and can be customized to fit the needs of various teams and organizations. Traceable provides an option to integrate your Jira project. The Jira integration gives you flexibility to file a Jira ticket directly from the Traceable platform. 

The integration process consists of a set of operations in your JIRA project and Traceable platform. Make sure that you are the JIRA administrator rights to integrate JIRA with Traceable.

The integration process requires switching between Traceable Platform and your JIRA project.
