Microsoft Project Online

+ Atlassian JIRA

FluentPro Integration Hub is a leading cloud-based integration platform for connecting Microsoft Project Online and Atlassian JIRA.

Business Case

Many modern organizations use hybrid approach to project management combining Agile and Waterfall. Most of them find it challenging to integrate high-level PPM initiatives and Agile execution teams, for example, synchronize Project Online and JIRA.

When the project has been initiated on a portfolio level and Agile teams need to break it down into sprints and tasks, it’s important that they use Agile-specific tools, such as Atlassian JIRA, for their daily work while critical project updates are pushed back to the portfolio level in the PPM system, such as Project Online.

When the link between project and portfolio levels is missing, it may cause low portfolio visibility, poor accountability and substancial and regular manual work in order to provide views on project and task levels to the leadership.
