Jira Issues

To connect your Jira and Git data, Jira issues must be linked to pull requests. Jira issues can be linked to pull requests by referencing the Jira issue key (e.g. JRA-123) in your development work.

If you include the issue key in any of the following, your pull request will be automatically linked to the Jira issue:

• Pull request title
• Commit message
• Branch name

You can learn more about how Jira issues are automatically linked to development work in Atlassian’s documentation. 

Once your Jira issues and pull requests are linked, you will be able to see end-to-end delivery metrics for your pull requests, such as time to plan (issue last in progress to first commit).

Pull requests can be linked to multiple issues, and issues can be linked to multiple pull requests. We use the last in progress time across issues to calculate Time to Plan.
