Automated Task and Data Synchronization

With ZigiOps, you can instantly transfer the ITSM's platform's tasks to Azure in real time, ensuring that all relevant information—including comments, attachments, and descriptions—is accurately reflected in both systems. The bi-directional connection between the systems provides:

• Bi-directional synchronization – Changes made in Jira are amended in Azure, and vice versa.
• Automated correlation and mapping – Key fields such as title, description, urgency, issue links, and comments are automatically populated when a task is created.
• Elimination of manual info transfer – No need for IT staff to manually copy and forward information between platforms.

Comprehensive Work Management Across Platforms

ZigiOps enables seamless work item tracking across both Jira and Azure:

• Sync Jira issues with ADO tasks for streamlined project management.
• Manage work in Jira Cloud instance while executing ADO workflows.
• Transfer work items, stories, and epics from Jira to Azure, ensuring complete visibility.
• Sync changes in real-time so that every change made in either system is immediately reflected in the other.

Optimize Development and IT Operations

By automating the information transfer between Jira and ADO, your departments can:

• Improve efficiency by minimizing time spent on manual revisions.
• Enhance traceability by maintaining a clear, real-time view of work progress.
• Streamline development cycles by enabling smoother collaboration between software engineers and IT corps.
• Accelerate project delivery by ensuring all necessary information flows seamlessly between systems.

With ZigiOps handling your Jira to Azure integration, you can focus on building, testing, and deploying projects efficiently—without the hassle of manual info transfers.

Azure DevOps Build Pipelines – Jira Issues Integration

If your IT crew use both Jira Cloud and Azure —where Jira manages issues and tasks while Azure Pipelines handles building and testing code projects—integrating the two can significantly enhance efficiency, transparency, and collaboration.

‍

Automated Build Tracking for Faster Issue Resolution

With ZigiOps, Azure builds (from build pipelines) can be automatically tracked and logged as issues in Jira Cloud. The implementation ensures that:

• Build failures are instantly reported in Jira, keeping departments informed.
• All critical details, such as build results and error logs, are automatically synchronized, eliminating manual tracking.
• Developers receive immediate notifications about pipeline issues, reducing response times.

Advanced Filtering for Customizable Information Transfers

ZigiOps offers predefined filtering options, allowing IT crew to transfer only relevant build pipeline details into Jira. You can:

• Filter builds by time, result, or status (e.g., only failed builds or the latest ones).
• Select specific pipeline components to be synchronized, such as name, type, description, and default values.
• Reduce clutter by transferring only necessary information, keeping Jira organized and efficient.

Azure DevOps Release Pipelines – Jira Issues Integration

If your organization relies on Jira for managing development tasks and projects while using Azure —especially Azure Pipelines—for building and testing code, integrating the two platforms can significantly improve efficiency, reduce manual efforts, and enhance collaboration.

Seamless Issue Tracking for Failed Pipelines

One of the biggest challenges in software development is ensuring that developers receive timely and accurate information about failed pipelines. When a pipeline fails, it’s critical for developers to know:

• Which pipeline has failed
• When the failure occurred
• Which job or task encountered an issue
• At which stage the failure happened

With ZigiOps, all this information is automatically transferred to the Atlassian system in real time, ensuring that the right IT members immediately receive actionable insights to address the issue. Instead of manually checking ADO for pipeline failures, Jira users receive instant notifications on information changes, reducing delays and improving issue resolution time.

Automated Release Logging in Jira

ZigiOps automatically extracts Azure releases (from release pipelines) and logs them in Jira Cloud as issues based on predefined filters. For example, it can be configured to create Jira issues only if a release pipeline is deployed or if it reaches a specific status. This eliminates the need for manual tracking and ensures that all deployments and changes are properly recorded for better transparency.

Why Do a Jira Azure Integration?

Decentralized Jira Azure Implementation

As you’re looking to improve your IT infrastructure, you’ll be faced with the challenge of managing various solutions. For example, you might use one tool while your other teams use another. Of course, no single solution can handle your needs, but there is a way to make it easier for your crew to work together, even on different platforms.

The key is an Azure Jira implementation solution. This means that each department has access to all the information it needs, combining the power of Jira and Azure, but doesn’t have to worry about managing the entire system from scratch. The automated synchronization triggers also mean that any changes can be made without having to coordinate with other teams or change what their systems do. If you need additional information or want to change how things work based on different data structures, this kind of solution can help you do that without needing everyone on your team to upgrade their software at once.

Reliability and Flexibility

Setting up your Azure - Jira bi-directional implementation to work in the background is the key to making sure it’s a success. Once you’ve set up the connection between the two systems, you want it to work without any fuss. You want it to be able to deal with the downtime of one or both platforms and get everything back in sync once they are both back online.

The Azure Jira implementation lets your IT corps get on with what they do and doesn’t need anyone to spend time managing it, so you can focus on what matters most. The best tools for your project management and details synchronization need to be reliable, simple to use, and able to handle downtime on both platforms—and this is what the ZigiOps’ Jira – Azure connection could offer.

We know that your teams’ needs will change over time. Different projects often bring different ways of working, and the details we collect from customers may broaden or lessen in scope. Sometimes, this means we’ll need to tune our fields while we manage projects. This can be easily done in the ZigiOps UI at any time.

Challenges for Jira and ADO Users

Jira Cloud and Microsoft's Azure are the most popular DevOps systems. Very often, they are both used in enterprises in different teams. Challenges start when these two platforms need to be connected.
