How to Activate the Jira Integration

Your development teams live in Jira, while your project management and finance teams live in VOGSY. Our managed integration creates a seamless connection between both platforms, providing complete visibility and streamlined time tracking.

This article explains the benefits and how to set it up.

The integration equips both developers and project managers with the information they need in the tool they prefer to use.

For Developers:

• Essential project details from VOGSY are available directly within Jira

• Issues, tasks, and subtasks in Jira are clearly marked with their associated VOGSY project.

• Time tracking becomes effortless. With the VOGSY time-tracking plugin for Jira, all hours logged on an issue automatically flow to the correct project, activity, and deliverable in VOGSY.

For Project Managers:

• All Jira epics and issues linked to a VOGSY project are visible directly within the project in VOGSY.

• Get a real-time view of progress, status, and who is working on what, providing complete visibility into the development team's work without ever leaving VOGSY.

Setting up the connection is a three-step process performed in VOGSY's back office.

Step 1: Connect to Jira

• Navigate to the section for setting up third-party connections.

• Select Jira and follow the prompts to authorize the connection between the two systems.

Step 2: Map Your Employees

• To ensure work and time are attributed correctly, you must map your Jira user accounts to their corresponding VOGSY employee profiles. This tells the system who is who across both platforms.

Step 3: Activate the VOGSY Add-on in Jira

• The final step is to install and activate the VOGSY time-tracking add-on within your Jira environment. This enables the seamless flow of time entries from Jira back to VOGSY.
