Connect Jira

Connect Jira so a project goal moves as tickets close. Brev sees only the projects your Jira user can browse.

What you get from Jira #

• Goal progress from a Jira project, or from your own JQL query.
• Optional real-time updates when tickets change.
• The project's tickets listed on the goal page.

Connect Jira #

1. In Settings, click Connections, then type Jira in Search connections.
2. On its row, click Connect.
3. Sign in to Atlassian and approve access.

Track a Jira project or query #

1. Open a Project or Metric goal and click Auto-track. Under Ready to track, pick Jira.
2. Pick your Atlassian site and click Continue.
3. Under Project, pick the project. To write the query yourself, turn on Advanced and fill in JQL Query. A query must name a project, sprint, filter or similar scope.
4. Under Track progress, pick one. A Project goal offers Completed tickets. A Metric offers Tickets completed, as a count or a percent.
5. Optionally, turn on Update in real time.
6. Next to Connect, pick how often to refresh: Every 30 minutes (the default), Hourly, Every 4 hours, Daily or Weekly. Then click Connect.

After you connect Jira #

Brev reads the value at the frequency you picked. At Every 30 minutes, it reads every 30 minutes from 7 AM to 7 PM on weekdays (Sydney, New York or San Francisco time). Otherwise, it reads every 4 hours.

• To read it now, click the refresh icon on the goal's connection. An unchanged value adds no check-in.
• To see what it reads, hover over the connection or click its gear. The gear also changes the frequency.
• You can still add your own check-ins, for example to explain a change.

With Update in real time on, ticket changes land within seconds. It works only for a query that names a project.

On a Project goal, the goal page also lists the tracked project's issues, each with its status.
