Use Case: Jama Connect integration with Azure DevOps Server (TFS) and ServiceNow

Problem statement: When the product management, customer relationship management, and development systems are not integrated, the teams must manually collaborate for each request coming from the customer. Manual communication can be time consuming and error prone.

Solution: When Jama Connect, ServiceNow, and Azure DevOps Server (TFS) are integrated, a defect/enhancement request coming from the customer would be successfully channelized in each system.

  1. Customer logs a ticket in ServiceNow.
  2. The support team identifies the ticket as an ‘enhancement request’.
  3. The ‘enhancement request’ synchronizes to Jama Connect as a ‘feature’.
  4. The product management team, working in Jama Connect, defines the priority of the ‘feature’ and assigns it to the development team.
  5. The development team work on the ‘feature’. Once the feature is completed and tested, the development team marks the status of the ‘feature’ as ‘closed’.
  6. The status synchronizes to both Jama Connect and ServiceNow, and the respective entities – ‘feature’ in Jama Connect and ‘enhancement request’ in ServiceNow are ‘completed’ as well.
