Linking meetings to Jira issues

Use Case

This use case will outline the benefits and the procedure for linking meetings to Jira issues.

Linking events to Jira issues - Main Illustration Use Case

If you are a Product Manager (PM) in a tech company overseeing a major software release in Jira, you will often encounter the challenge of synchronizing meetings across varied departments. With numerous meetings like scrums, sprint plannings, and sprint review sessions, making sure everyone is aware of the schedule can be a challenge.

Goal - Improve coordination and traceability of team meetings in Jira

Keeping everyone in sync

With various team members using different platforms and channels to stay informed about schedules, people can easily miss a meeting. 

Problem - No integration between Google Calendar and Jira

Moreover, without a centralized way to manage the context of these meetings and the decisions made during them, essential project details can easily be lost, creating problems in project workflows.

For example, it is easier for collaborators to understand the rationale behind a decision made in Jira if they can trace back the meeting that led to that decision. In addition, it becomes much easier to track down the notes from that meeting to provide even more context to the rest of your team. 

Effortless coordination

By seamlessly linking events from Google Calendar to your Jira issues, Connectors for Jira heightens awareness of meeting schedules and enhances synchronization across multiple departments. With team members able to join meetings directly from the app, this streamlines the scheduling process and ensures broader participation.

Beyond this, linking meetings directly to Jira issues provides valuable context and details, allowing a deeper understanding of evolving project issues. Connectors for Jira also enhance traceability by linking the Jira issue with the meeting and the meeting notes, improving decision-making and strategic planning.
