Migrating or integrating project management systems can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be. While every tool comes with its own unique data structures and workflows, OpsHub Integration Manager offers an ideal solution. OpsHub allows businesses to continuously sync data across project management tools like Rally and Jira. This can support a continuous integration, or provide support for a one-time migration.  This flexibility enables companies to maintain alignment across both tools or adopt a new platform at their own pace.  Let’s explore how OpsHub makes this transition process smooth and effective for companies of any scale.

Integrating Rally and Jira with OpsHub

Whether your company is migrating entirely from Rally to Jira or has teams that work in both environments, OpsHub’s solutions provide a secure, automated bridge. Let’s first dive into integrations. OpsHub enables continuous, bidirectional data syncs which are ideal for companies that have teams that use different tools. By establishing a seamless flow of information between Rally and Jira, OpsHub allows both tools to coexist while keeping all teams aligned. 

Bidirectional Sync and Collaboration

OpsHub’s bidirectional sync ensures that changes made in either Rally or Jira are automatically mirrored in the other system. For instance, when a product team in Rally creates a user story, it appears in Jira with the same name, description, priority, and status. Any updates made to the story in Jira (such as comments, attachments, or status changes) are immediately reflected in Rally. This keeps both teams aligned and up-to-date, regardless of which tool they use daily. OpsHub also facilitates collaboration across teams and platforms. Customer requirements, bug tracking, and project timelines are visible across departments which reduces misunderstandings and keeps delivery timelines intact.

Flexibility and Security

Furthermore, businesses can choose which data to sync between Rally and Jira, depending on their operational needs. For example, a business may want to sync core project data like backlogs and user stories but leave specific custom fields or attachments in the native system. This flexibility enables businesses to reduce unnecessary data duplication. Lastly, the continuous syncs between Rally and Jira benefit from OpsHub’s secure protocols and automated tracking. This ensures that data remains accurate and that any user permissions set in one system are respected in the other. OpsHub’s audit and monitoring features offer additional oversight, which is crucial for enterprises managing multiple tools across departments or geographic locations.

Rally to Jira Migration with OpsHub

While integrating both tools has benefits, many companies have realized the benefits of migrating to Jira. For companies making a full switch from Rally to Jira, OpsHub Integration Manager offers a streamlined, automated migration process.

Data Mapping

OpsHub’s comprehensive mapping capabilities ensure that data from Rally is mapped to Jira with minimal disruptions. This includes everything from backlogs and user stories to epics and sprints. For instance, in Rally, a “Feature” maps to Jira’s “Epic.” Custom fields and unique attributes in Rally can also be transferred, making data organization comprehensible post-migration. In addition to this Rally offers an unlimited hierarchy structure that presents a unique challenge during migration. OpsHub helps users navigate these flexible layers by converting this structure to custom issue types when necessary.

Data Tracking

OpsHub gives customers a choice between migrating all at once, or incrementally migrating their data in phases. Regardless of this choice, OpsHub’s tools offer extensive data validation and quality tracking, ensuring data accuracy throughout the process. OpsHub’s automation will also eliminate manual errors. Your team can track the data as OpsHub ensures all critical project data is fully preserved. Lastly, OpsHub’s team provides support throughout the integration process, ensuring you are on track to leverage Jira. With OpsHub, moving from Rally to Jira can be a seamless, low-risk process. They can empower your business to consolidate systems without losing valuable project history or data integrity.
