PLANTA project and Jira | Interfaces

Information

PLANTA provides a means to connect the traditional project management tool PLANTA project to the agile tool Jira.
This connection, which enables synchronization of the data of both systems, allows you to benefit from the advantages of both agile and traditional project management in project planning and management.
PLANTA offers a standard integration both to Jira Server and Jira Cloud. The platform is determined in the global setting jira_platform, see Jira Parameters.
