Doing Great Things with JIRA!

I can see clearly now by Johnny Nash, Up With The Birds by Coldplay, April Come She Will by Simon and Garfunkel are some of the all-time favorite songs for the Spring. Our heart goes out listening to all of ‘em but what hits us harder and sweeter are the notes of Grid Report & Momentum Grid Report by G2 | Spring 2023 where Hatica has been ranked #1 Leader in the Momentum Grid in the Software Development Analytics Tools category. ??

Thanks to all our customers, partners, and Haticans (as we love to call ourselves) ?? for their continued feedback and support and for making Hatica a great product, organizations love to use for their engineering teams. ??

Engineering teams come with a complex and at times overloaded tech stack that is needed to build, deploy, monitor, and test the quality of the software being pushed to production for end users to use.?

Of many technologies and tools that comprise a tech stack, JIRA is quintessential in the list. As we all know, JIRA is a project management tool - a customizable workspace that can be tailored as per the unique needs of an engineering team - that helps streamline workflows, centralize information, and improve the overall developer experience.

In this issue of Developer Productivity Digest, we bring to you all that you and your developer friends need to know about JIRA.?

1. Setting up JIRA Gitlab Integration

GitLab is a web-based Git repository manager that enables code collaboration and version control. Jira on the other hand is used by engineering teams for issue tracking and agile project management.?

Integrating these two tools can improve collaboration between developers and project managers, as well as streamline the development process. However, the integration can be tardy if proper attention is not given to the due process.?

So, we have covered some of the most common issues involved in setting up JIRA-Gitlab integration, a step-by-step guide to integrate both along with some best practices to follow.

3. Sync JIRA projects to Notion DB in 3 Easy Ways

The speed of deployment holds a competitive advantage for the engineering teams over others. In order to deliver those expectations, developers need to use tools that help build and ship faster. Engineering teams must be able to manage their workflows efficiently to achieve that.

JIRA provides a plethora of features to assist teams in remaining organized and focused on their tasks. Notion, an all-in-one workspace, promotes collaboration and centralizes critical information, making it an ideal platform for managing projects and workflows in one location.

Teams can streamline their workflows, centralize information, and improve productivity by integrating JIRA and Notion, eliminating the need to switch between multiple tools. In this article, we'll look at the advantages of connecting Notion and JIRA, as well as three approaches for doing so.

And if you are a smaller engineering team struggling to paddle ahead with JIRA alone because of its sheer size and complexity, we also have written a short help-note to help you create Jira templates in Notion. You can always THANK us later ??

We are going to bring you more tips and tricks for boosting your overall team productivity and well-being in the upcoming issues of `Developer Productivity Digest`.?
