Connect Jira to Align to mirror engineering workflows across platforms. Keep technical and business teams aligned without duplicate entry.

How it works
Align can:

• Sync Jira projects, epics, stories, and bugs as Align hierarchy

• Update task status bidirectionally when Jira issues transition

• Pull Jira comments, attachments, and custom fields into Align

• Create Jira tickets from Align task assignments

• Link sprints and releases across both platforms

• Aggregate Jira velocity and burndown data into dashboards

Teams often use this integration to build:

• Engineering-business alignment

• Cross-tool sprint planning

• Release train coordination

• Technical debt tracking

• OKR progress monitoring

Configure

1. In Align, go to Settings → Integrations → Jira

2. Click Connect Jira and authorize your Cloud/Server instance
