New feature: Connect Jira Align Enterprise Insights to Atlassian Analytics

[#1]

We’re excited to announce you can now connect your Jira Align Enterprise Insights database to Atlassian Analytics! Enterprise Insights is a data mart that’s available to Jira Align Cloud customers, providing them with access to their Jira Align data. Our new data source connector makes it quick and easy for your organization admin to connect your Enterprise Insights database, so you can visualize and analyze your Jira Align data in Atlassian Analytics.

You can also blend your Jira Align data and Atlassian Data Lake data together to create customized charts and dashboards that go beyond Jira Align’s default reports. Furthermore, you can share those dashboards in Confluence, for example, and anyone with access to that dashboard in Atlassian Analytics will be able to view them! Learn more about sharing dashboards.

To enhance our value stream management solution and kickstart your data exploration, we’ve also created five dashboard templates specifically for Jira Align Enterprise Insights:

• Epic status - An in-depth view of a selected epic, with details on attributes and related work items that factor into its status

• Portfolio financials - To make strategic financial decisions related to budget and spending for themes, portfolio objectives, and epics

• Portfolio flow metrics - To monitor and optimize how work flows at the portfolio level

• Solution flow metrics - To monitor and optimize how work flows at the solution level

• Value stream flow metrics - To monitor and optimize how work flows at the program level

How to get started

1. Complete the prerequisites described in the Jira Align documentation.

2. After completing the prerequisites, an organization admin can add Enterprise Insights by doing the following:

   1. From the Analytics workspace, select Data from the global navigation.
   2. Select Add data source > Jira Align Enterprise Insights.
   3. Select the instance to connect.
   4. Provide a display name for the data source.
   5. Select Connect.

Tips for customizing your schema

Jira Align lets you rename work items and timeboxes to align with how your team or organization refers to them. After you connect Enterprise Insights to Atlassian Analytics, you can rename tables and columns in the schema to align with your internal terminology.

Interesting development, we will try this out.

disappointing that an already overly expensive jira align is forcing users to purchase another "add-on" to use your own data.  great push to make us use third party reporting tools
