How OpsHub Integration Manager integrates TeamForge and Jira
OpsHub Integration Manager integrates TeamForge and Jira Software bidirectionally. It ensures that all data is available to each user, in that user’s preferred system, with full context, in real-time. All ‘stories’ created in TeamForge synchronize to Jira Software where the development team breaks it down into different user stories. The progress of all user stories can be further tracked from any of the two systems.

Use Case: TeamForge integration with Jira
Problem statement: The Product Management team does not have direct visibility the progress of development work.
Solution: When TeamForge, the ALM platform, and Jira Software, the issue tracking project management software, are integrated, the Product Management team will have direct visibility into how the development teams work.
- Product Manager creates a new ‘Epic’ in TeamForge based on the conversation with a customer.
- The ‘Epic’ synchronizes to Jira Software as an ‘Epic’/ ‘Feature’.
- The development team, using Jira Software, breaks down the ‘Feature’ into ‘Stories’.
- The development team then assigns Estimated Efforts (in hours) required to complete the Epic/Feature in Jira, which synchronize to TeamForge against the corresponding Epic.
- As and when the development team progresses through the development, the Product Manager using TeamForge has real-time visibility into Actual Efforts and Remaining Efforts (in hours) for the Epic/Feature.
