The integration of Jira with IBM DOORS (Both DOORS and DOORS Next Generation) brings transparency in the application delivery ecosystem.
The product management teams get complete visibility into the progress of development work, and the development teams have direct access to the customer requirements and any changes/enhancements made to the requirements.
In an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) ecosystem, the choice of systems, and the collaboration between the cross-functional teams play a great role. While the choice of systems impacts the productivity of a team, the cross-functional collaboration helps the teams get complete context of the business requirements.
Best-of-breed systems such as IBM DOORS (Both DOORS and DOORS Next Generation) and Jira bring rich functionalities to the ecosystem. By integrating IBM DOORS and Jira, the development teams will have real-time visibility into business requirements, and the product management teams will be able to trace all user stories and test cases associated with the requirement. As the overall collaboration in the ecosystem would increase, enterprises will deliver better quality products to customers at a faster pace.
OpsHub Integration Manager integrates IBM DOORS and Jira bidirectionally. It ensures that all historical and current data is available to each user, in that user’s preferred system, with full context, in real-time. All ‘requirements’ from IBM DOORS automatically synchronize to Jira and all the details associated with the ‘requirement’ synchronize back to IBM DOORS.
Problem statement: When the development and requirement management systems are not integrated, any additional update to the ‘requirement’ must be manually notified to the development team.
Solution: When Jira and IBM DOORS are integrated, any update to a ‘requirement’ in DOORS will be automatically notified to the development team in real time. This will help them with buffer time to internally reschedule the tasks and no updates would ever fall through the cracks.
