Integrating with Jira helps align teams by providing the context of why their work matters to customers and the business. When a Jira issue is linked to a Vistaly solution, individual contributors can see what their work is connected to and how it’s measured.

Next, select the “Get app” button.A popup will show a list of available Jira sites to install the app. Select the correct site, and then install the app. (Most teams have one site)Navigate to the “Manage your apps” page and select Vistaly in the lefthand menu bar. Next, select “Allow access” to allow Vistaly permission to connect.A page showing permissions Vistaly requests will display. Select “Accept” to grant permissions.Now that the Jira site has access to share data with Vistaly, select which Vistaly organization allows access to the Jira site.And that concludes the setup steps. Continue to see how to get the most out of the Jira integration.
With the Jira integration installed and the Vistaly organization connected, solution cards in the Vistaly board will now have a Jira tab. Select the Jira tab on an unlinked solution, this will present two options, Create & Link a Jira issue, or link to an existing Jira issue.After selecting the “Create & Link” there will be a list of valid Jira boards and issue types.
