Many teams use both Jira and Git platforms to help run their projects efficiently. Often, team members jump between the two all day long, moving in and out of each platform to capture and work on tasks. For a large segment of users who need Jira and Git, jumping between the platforms can be time-consuming and can easily take them off task by taking them out of their natural flow during intensive work.
Luckily, Jira and Git integrate pretty well with each other, allowing users to remove the yo-yo effect of manually moving between each.

When using solutions like Bitband’s many Git-Jira integration apps, users can easily:

What Are the Upsides to Integrating Git and Jira with Bitband?
Bitband offers tons of great features no matter which Git platform teams are utilizing. These include:

The goal, of course, is to allow users to more efficiently use both Git and Jira by allowing each platform to be used concurrently. This ensures that project management becomes more seamless, and teams that spend more time in either Git or Jira will have their work visible in both places for other team members that might work in different ways.
Conclusion: Making Project Management Easy
For organizations passionate about project management and making sure they are on top of project tasks, milestones, and goals, Jira is a great solution. However, it’s only effective when teams use it and when tickets and information are updated on time.
By integrating Git with Jira, codes and commits, especially those related to open tickets, are addressed and updated easily. This makes managing projects and reporting on timelines easier and more transparent and prevents workers from siloing off from project managers or other teams that need constant updates to keep everything running smoothly.
