Can JWM and Jira Software Share Things

[Dave Rosenlund _Trundl_]

Hi, @John Funk.  Dumb newbie, err, "lazy" newbie question....

My organization started with (has a lot of existing work in) Jira Software.

But, I lead a marketing team. And we want to work in JWM.

We work with many internal stakeholders who will continue to work in Jira Software.

Can tasks/issues be shared across these Jiras?

Can we @mention and @assign tasks across them?

TIA.

Not quite, but yes in this case.

Your Software people have access to JWM projects - their licences let them into projects of both types.  Equally, JWM only users can use the projects underlying Jira Software, but they won't be able to use the boards the Software users can.

Your main problem might be that the functions of a JWM project are often broadly different to those of a Software project.  Different reporting etc.  But the core idea of "one Project, two teams" works fine for issues, fields, screens, workflows etc.

Hey Dave - the quick answer is yes. The projects can even share the same schemes and automation. Along with the mentions and assigns as long as the permission schemes (which can even be shared) give those users access to the project(s).

Can we @mention and @assign tasks across them?

Yep!

As long as the users (1) have access to all the project/s they need to be mentionable in, and they (2) have access to the Jira Software and Jira Work Management products.
