Azure Devops Vs Jira



  1. Jira Software is trusted by agile teams looking to capture & organize issues, assign work & track team activity. The software is designed so Scrum, Kanban, & hybrid models are all successful. Designed for small to large businesses, it is a DevOps solution that assists with prioritization, portfolio management, release management, and more.
  2. We encounter a lot of problems with Jira. The main ones being: - Very slow - Bugs when we edit a card: lost content - Hard to configure. We are a team of 20 (15 devs + 5 product). We use the SCRUM methodology, but currently moving to KANBAN (similar though). Some would like to use Azure DevOps instead of Jira.

Jira Software is trusted by agile teams looking to capture & organize issues, assign work & track team activity. The software is designed so Scrum, Kanban, & hybrid models are all successful. We believe that the success made possible by the cloud must be accessible to every business and every organization - small and large, old and new. Azure Jira sync view your project- or issue-associated Azure DevOps (formerly VSTS) check-in logs directly in Jira. Actions are categorized by distinct event tags for quick and simple reference. Migrate Azure DevOps to Jira and create your sync profile with health checks and no fuss.

The Jira to Azure DevOps work item migration tool lets you export data from Jira and import it as work items in Azure DevOps or Microsoft Team Foundation Server.

BuildQualityRelease

This tool lets you migrate work item from Jira to Azure DevOps or Microsoft Team Foundation Server. The tool has two parts, first Jira issues are exported to files then we import the files to Azure DevOps/TFS. We believe this is a good approach to migration since it allows you to export the data to migrate and validate it before importing it. It also makes it easy to migrate in batches.

Some of the capabilities include:

  • Export Jira issues from Jira queries
  • Map users from Jira to users in Azure DevOps/TFS
  • Migrate work item field data
  • Migrate links and attachments
  • Migrate history
  • Download the latest release from GitHub and extract the files to your local workspace.

The tools are provided as-is and will require detailed understanding of how to migrate work items between different systems in order to do a successful migration. If you need support or help with migrations feel free to contact the team at Solidify for expert consulting services.

  • See the migration process overview for information on how to get started.
  • Read the article Jira to VSTS migration: migrating work items for more context of the process.
  • Read the article Jira to Azure DevOps (VSTS or TFS) migration for a complete step-by-step walkthrough on a migration.

The Jira to Azure DevOps work item migration tool has been tested on the following configurations:

  • Atlassian Jira Cloud
  • Atlassian Jira Server 7.0.0
  • Azure DevOps Services
  • Azure DevOps Server ('TFS 2019')
  • Team Foundation Server 2018 update 3

Jira and Azure DevOps (VSTS) integration ensures there is no scope for communication gaps or miscommunication between project management and development teams.

Jira and Azure DevOps (VSTS) Integration Overview

In an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) ecosystem, the choice of systems and the collaboration between the cross-functional teams play a great role. While the choice of systems impacts the productivity of a team, the cross-functional collaboration helps the teams get complete context of the business requirements.

Best-of-breed systems such as Jira and Azure DevOps (VSTS) bring rich functionalities to the ecosystem. By integrating Azure DevOps (VSTS) with Jira, enterprises can seamlessly manage product development. The developers using Jira will have clear visibility into the exact feature requirements and real-time access to any changes/enhancements made to the requirements. On the other hand, Azure DevOps (VSTS) users will have complete view of development of a requirement that is progressing.

How Azure DevOps (VSTS) and Jira integration is beneficial for an enterprise

  • Access to all test cases, defects, and QA plan
  • Trace the requirement breakdown completely – access the features, stories, tasks associated with the requirement
  • Developers are always up-to-date on feature requirements and associated updates
  • Track the estimated and actual development efforts
  • Get complete context of the business requirement and receive real-time updates when there is a change in the plan
  • Coordinate on the delivery timelines seamlessly with concurrent updates on changes

With Azure DevOps (VSTS) and Jira integration, enterprises can:

How OpsHub Integration Manager integrates Jira and Azure DevOps (VSTS)

OpsHub Integration Manager integrates Azure DevOps (VSTS) and Jira bidirectionally. It ensures that all historical and current data is available to each user, in that user’s preferred system, with full context, in real-time. All ‘requirements’ from Azure DevOps (VSTS) automatically synchronize to Jira where they are broken down to ‘stories’. The completion of the story and the status of test results against it automatically synchronizes to Azure DevOps (VSTS).
