Jira & MS Teams add on

James Arthur

We have a request from a segment of our project group within our company to integrate Jira Cloud with MS Teams. Since I am new to the Admin role in Jira, I have a few questions: 

• Can this be “activated” for a subset of the org, or is it an all-or-nothing deployment for all of Jira and the company? Our company does use Teams, hence I am sensitive to any changes I could introduce to Teams.  
• If someone doesn’t have a Jira license, but Jira is integrated with Teams, how would someone without a license use it?
• What does it take to do this? ie. is the installation as easy as it reads? 
• What is the feedback from the Jira community on adding Teams?  Has anyone ever done it and had problems?
• Is there documentation that explains the installation, uses and addresses any issues which have occurred in the past?  

Thank you

Hi @James Arthur , you might find this useful - integrate-jira-cloud-with-microsoft-teams .

• Can this be “activated” for a subset of the org, or is it an all-or-nothing deployment for all of Jira and the company? Our company does use Teams, hence I am sensitive to any changes I could introduce to Teams.  YES
• If someone doesn’t have a Jira license, but Jira is integrated with Teams, how would someone without a license use it? The user in teams will see notifications based on how they are set up but without a Jira license they won't be able to click links, create issues, comment on issue, etc.
• What does it take to do this? ie. is the installation as easy as it reads? It is pretty easy. See the article I shared above.
• What is the feedback from the Jira community on adding Teams?  Has anyone ever done it and had problems? I have done it and don't recall any issues that I could not overcome.
• Is there documentation that explains the installation, uses and addresses any issues which have occurred in the past?  See above
