Introducing Jira Integration for Planning Poker - Streamline Your Agile Estimation Workflow
Import unestimated issues from Jira, estimate with your team, and push story points back automatically. No more copying values between tools.
Introducing Jira Integration for Planning Poker - Streamline Your Agile Estimation Workflow
Sprint planning shouldn't involve copying and pasting between tools. Our new Jira integration brings your unestimated issues directly into Planning Poker, lets your team estimate them together, then pushes story points back to Jira automatically.
Why This Matters
Switching between Jira and your planning poker tool during estimation wastes time. Copy an issue key, paste it into planning poker, estimate, write down the points, go back to Jira, find the issue, update the story points. Repeat 30 times per sprint.
Our integration cuts out the busywork. Pull issues in, estimate them, and you're done.
Key Features
Direct Issue Import
Pull unestimated issues from Jira into your session in seconds. You get:
- Issue keys and summaries
- Issue types and priorities
- Existing story point values (if any)
- Descriptions and acceptance criteria
Automatic Two-Way Updates
Estimate an issue, and story points write back to Jira automatically. That's it.
Smart Filtering with JQL
Use Jira Query Language to grab exactly the issues you need:
- Filter by sprint, epic, or project
- Search by assignee or reporter
- Filter by status or issue type
- Write custom queries that match your workflow
Bulk Import
Pull in dozens of issues at once. Perfect for sprint planning when you've got an entire backlog to estimate.
How It Works
1. Connect Your Jira Account
Go to your session settings and click "Connect Jira". You'll authorize Planning Poker to access your workspace using OAuth 2.0. We never see or store your Jira password.
2. Import Issues
Click "Import from Jira" in your session. You'll see unestimated issues from your selected project. Filter the list, then pick which issues to estimate.
3. Estimate as Usual
Run your planning poker session normally. When the team agrees on an estimate, the story points queue up for sync.
4. Push to Jira
After estimation, review your estimated issues and click "Sync to Jira". Story points update in Jira instantly, with an optional comment noting the issue was estimated via Planning Poker.
Security and Privacy
Your data stays secure:
- OAuth 2.0 only: We use Jira's official authorization flow. We never see your password.
- Minimal permissions: We only ask to read issues and update story points. Nothing else.
- Encrypted tokens: All access tokens are encrypted at rest.
- Instant disconnect: Revoke access anytime from your settings.
