New two-way integration automates Jira workflows in Teams for significant productivity gains

Nextup.ai, a leader in chat-based productivity software solutions for Atlassian, announced today at Atlassian Team ’22 a new app called Jira Integration+ for Teams. This new software creates a two-way integration between Jira and Microsoft Teams to eliminate context switching, automate processes and accelerate collaboration.

With hybrid work here to stay, hyper-automation has shifted from an option to a condition of survival. Organizations are requiring more IT and business process automation as they are forced to accelerate digital transformation. The newly launched Jira Integration+ for Teams enables organizations to automate as many of their development processes as possible, helping them get to market faster.

Nextup’s Slack & Jira app is already trusted by 750 organizations worldwide from large enterprises to small startups. This essential integration is now available for Microsoft Teams customers.

Jira Integration+ for Teams streamlines workflows by bringing Jira tickets fully into the Teams interface. Users are empowered to create, assign, manage, and close Jira issues without leaving Teams.

A recent research study of IT professionals reported that by bringing Jira and your communication hub together, the average user could save at least two hours of work per week or 300+ hours per year. By optimizing developer operations, there is an expanded capacity to achieve personal, group, and organizational goals.

Teams who use Jira Integration+ report additional productivity benefits including:

• Eliminating context switching
• Time saved through process automation
• Increased transparency and breaking down of information silos
• Better collaboration and communication
• Fewer emails and alert clutter
