Why does it pay off to integrate SAP with Atlassian Jira?
If you use both SAP and Jira for your change management, you are probably familiar with the difficulties: constantly switching back and forth between the applications and time-consuming manual data synchronization. By integrating SAP directly into Jira, you can avoid unnecessary media disruptions and prevent human errors during manual data alignment.
The integration enables you to simplify your release and approval processes and ensure audit-proof documentation across system boundaries. You achieve a significant acceleration of your release cycles, a sustainable improvement in process and data quality and a noticeable reduction in workload.
SAP-Jira Interface:
Integration Made Easy
The intelligent integration of SAP in Atlassian Jira increases efficiency in SAP change management, reduces human error in manual data synchronization and avoids unnecessary media disruptions.
Simplify Change Processes
By connecting SAP to Jira, you establish end-to-end change management by controlling SAP transports directly in Jira. You benefit from extensive automation options, preconfigured workflows and integrated quality checks that simplify your release processes with lasting effect.
Fewer Errors and Risks
The direct integration of SAP with Jira enables reliable data synchronization between the two systems and eliminates the need for manual data reconciliation. This eliminates human mistakes and input errors. In addition, integrated quality checks effectively support the prevention of typical risks in SAP Transport Management.
Increase in Process Transparency
The integration of SAP in Jira provides you with seamless documentation across system boundaries. The automatic synchronization of relevant information between both systems ensures that all your change processes are documented in an audit-proof manner in order to reliably meet compliance and governance requirements.
Seamless integration of SAP Changes in Atlassian Jira is that easy

FAQs: SAP Transport Integration for Jira
Using Jira-SAP integration, you establish bidirectional communication between your SAP landscape and your Jira tools. This allows you to link actions in the respective systems almost arbitrarily.
SAP and Jira (DataCenter, Cloud and Server) must be mutually accessible for communication. The connection is made via Data Webservices over HTTPS. On the SAP side, a dedicated SAP gateway can also be fully supported.
An overview of the prerequisites can be found in our online documentation:
You can connect any SAP system licensed for SmartChange to Jira. Technically, there is no limitation.
A Jira project is connected to a SmartChange TM controller. One SmartChange TM controller can be connected to multiple Jira projects.
The Jira project defines for which development systems transport requests can be created. All development systems configured in the TM Controller can be selected.
All transaction types are supported and can be linked to SAP transport requests. In the SmartChange area, the SAP transport requests as well as the transport requests of the subordinate activities are displayed.
