7 ways to supercharge your dev workflow with Jira and Bitbucket

[#1]

Teams that use both Jira and Bitbucket release 14% more frequently than those using just one. Why the boost in speed? Simple – less context switching and manual work for visibility, updates, and finding context. By staying in one connected workflow, developers can keep focused and ship without the constant disruption of switching between tools.

Using Jira with Bitbucket keeps your team aligned without disrupting your coding flow. As you create commits, branches, and pull requests in Bitbucket, they automatically link to related Jira work items so everyone can track progress in real time. Updates sync seamlessly between both tools, making work more visible, cutting down on handoffs, and helping your team ship high-quality code faster – without losing context along the way.

Let’s dive into the key features that make this integration so powerful.

View code without leaving Jira

Stay focused and in the zone. With Jira’s Code view, you can see your team’s repositories right inside Jira – no more jumping between tools to track progress.

Track deployments right from Jira

Stay on top of what’s been shipped with ease. Jira’s Deployments view lets you monitor builds and deployed work items in real time – no extra tabs or guesswork needed.

Get real-time development updates in Jira

Keep everyone on the same page with up-to-the-minute visibility into development work. Jira automatically shows linked branches, commits, pull requests, and builds. Fewer manual updates mean developers stay focused while managers get automatic visibility.

Stay on top of Jira tasks right from Bitbucket

Work seamlessly in your dev environment. The “Your Work” dashboard in Bitbucket displays all your assigned Jira work items, so you can stay focused and keep moving.

Create Jira work items directly from Bitbucket

Keep momentum during code reviews. With Bitbucket’s Code Review, you can turn pull request comments into Jira work items on the spot so ideas, bugs, and action items never get lost or slow you down.

Interact with Jira work items without leaving Bitbucket

Stay in the flow while you code. The Jira tab in Bitbucket lets you view, comment on, and update Jira work items so you can keep projects moving without breaking your stride.

Automate your workflow across Jira and Bitbucket

Take the manual work out of development. With custom automation, you can trigger updates, transitions, and reassignments across Jira and Bitbucket based on commits, pull requests, or builds.
