PRODUCT UPDATE

See Effort and Impact Come Together with Jira, Azure DevOps Integrations

1 min read

Overview

Products are the core of any company's value to customers. As a developer, you want to know your work really matters to customers and the company—and you want to work efficiently. But it can be hard to see and stay tuned into that impact when you’re working on a task list. Aligning and bringing objectives and key results into line of sight day-to-day is a real win for you as well as customers and the company.

Now Get WorkBoard OKRs in Azure DevOps

While the sprints and tasks in Azure DevOps help you track what work needs to be done and your output, OKRs in WorkBoard measure and manage the business outcomes that your work drives. Now you can bring those OKRs right into your ADO experience — so your efforts and impacts are all in one place!

With this integration, you can now:

  • Display OKRs defined in WorkBoard as a tab in the Azure DevOps experience.
  • See, navigate, and comment on OKRs within Azure DevOps.
  • Quickly update progress toward key results from within Azure DevOps.
  • Automatically update key result progress as work is completed in Azure DevOps.
  • Give the rest of the organization transparency on the objectives and key results you’re driving.

Link Jira Issues to WorkBoard Key Results

You're familiar with WorkBoard’s Jira integration — see and update OKRs from within Jira — and now we're creating even clearer links to your work and the results it drives! Now on any given issue, you can see the key result that it aligns to and the current progress on that result. Moreover, use JQL to query for all issues contributing to a key result so you can easily see what needs to get done to move the needle.

Conclusion

Bringing OKRs directly into Azure DevOps and Jira removes the gap between the work you ship and the outcomes you own. When progress updates flow automatically from the tools your engineering teams already use, you reduce friction, improve transparency, and keep everyone focused on the results that matter. With WorkBoard’s integrations, developers see the purpose behind their work, leaders get real-time visibility, and the entire organization moves faster toward shared objectives.

If your teams build in GitHub, ADO, Jira, or Rally, WorkBoard makes it easier to connect effort to impact everywhere work happens.
