CoLab + Jira

Jira is a popular project management tool used by engineering teams to plan, track, and manage tasks, issues, and workflows related to their engineering projects. However, getting the full design context into Jira can be a challenge.

Here’s a rundown of what the integrating CoLab with Jira will do for you:

• Automatically create Jira issues from CoLab feedback based on a flexible rules system
• Provide direct context on the origin of issues and tasks from the source
• Establish a bidirectional sync to keep your backlog of tasks clean in CoLab and Jira

Why integrate?

Reduce duplication of effort & execute with full context

Old way: Create feedback in CoLab and manually enter in Jira as an issue.
‍New way: Feedback in CoLab automatically populates Jira issues.

Now you won’t have to duplicate efforts to get information into Jira, and the full context of Jira issues will be within immediate reach.

Prevent design issues from slipping through the cracks

42.8% of all issues generated in design reviews never get actioned. Part of this is due to poor documentation — if a design issue doesn’t get transcribed to your project management tool then it likely doesn’t get actioned.

Integrating CoLab with Jira helps you avoid this by ensuring that all issues found during design reviews automatically make their way to Jira.
