This use case will outline the benefits and procedure for linking Microsoft SharePoint files to a Jira issue or ticket.
Relevant files with updated information are the foundation of proper project management. The challenge is ensuring all the files, folders, and attachments are the proper versions to avoid miscommunications among your team.
With the Microsoft SharePoint integration for Jira, you can directly link the most relevant files and folders from SharePoint resources to a Jira issue or ticket. Instead of spending precious time manually conducting file transfers between multiple tools, you have a centralized app that keeps all stakeholders updated on current documentation.
Scattered Documentation Leads to Lost Team Productivity
Your team and other stakeholders will struggle without an efficient method to quickly pull updated files or folders between Jira and Microsoft SharePoint. Context for projects will be lost, and information will slip through operational cracks, leading to longer downtimes when picking up the missing pieces and beginning again.
Version Control Issues
Files, folders, and attachments change frequently. A quick update in marketing needs to be read by management to implement new initiatives. Without proper version control, you risk missing key details, especially when multiple copies of the same document create confusion.
Wasted Time Searching for Files and Folders
Forcing your team to leave Jira and JSM to navigate through SharePoint or other file platforms wastes time. The manual task of searching and verifying files slows down productivity and diverts resources that could have been spent on more important organizational items.
Inefficient Collaboration
Modern teams consist of many different working modalities. You don’t want to wait for team members to manually download, re-upload, and share files that could be out of date or confusing. Document efficiency with in-person, hybrid, and remote workers must be prioritized to ensure scalability.

Implementing the Microsoft SharePoint integration for Jira empowers your team to directly link essential files and folders to Jira issues or tickets so all data is updated and ready for use.
