This use case will outline the benefits and the procedure for linking Google Docs to a Jira issue.
Let’s assume you are a project manager or product owner in a tech company developing a new product using Jira software. With numerous project documents being updated regularly, you need an efficient and reliable way to keep every team member in the loop.
The document dilemma
From technical and legal documents to marketing and design data, the content of any given project document rarely remains static. With documents arriving from various sources, they need to be continually re-attached within your Jira issue to keep every department involved up to date.
Unless you enjoy trawling through documents and having to upload new versions into Jira every time an amendment is made, you need an effective solution.
Furthermore, when you use attachments, you can no longer rely on Google permission, potentially exposing confidential documents to all users on your Jira instance. This poses significant risks, particularly for sensitive legal or confidential records, especially in the current climate where businesses prioritize compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR or CCPA.
