🔌 Connect your Jira Software issues with the Compass integration

Last month we released the native Compass integration with Jira Software which brings the Compass components and the Component tab to Jira users. As part of our ongoing investment in Jira + Compass, we’re improving the admin experience with new admin controls. Admins can now make Compass components the default for new company-managed Jira Software projects so more teams can benefit from:

• Linking issues to software components and tracking work against health metrics

• Identifying bottlenecks and improving your developer experience

Ready to get started? Learn how to use the Compass component field in your Jira Software project and watch the demo from our recent webinar.

🩺 Track component health with expanded scorecard history and filtering

Wondering how last week’s retro impacts the software team's delivery? Now teams can track the history of their metrics and scorecards as they make changes and see how software health and performance of their software components are impacted. Filterable charts reveal historical trends at the component level and across the organization, revealing how work impacts software delivery and quality. Learn more about scorecard history.

📈 Get the data you need for a better DevEx

Give your developers a better experience with the DX + Compass integration. Designed by the researchers behind DORA and SPACE metrics, DX’s DevEx 360 surveys help you:

• Identify the top opportunities to improve developer job satisfaction

• Pinpoint the biggest factors slowing down your software development teams

• Empower every team to improve with individualized insights and recommendations

All directly within Compass. Learn more here.

👉 Bitbucket project picker for templates

You can now select which Bitbucket project to use when creating a component from a Bitbucket template in Compass. This makes it easier to use and access your new repository and component.

🏷️ Filtering by label is better than ever

It’s even easier to find what you’re looking for: labels no longer appear in the filter dropdowns if they aren’t applied to any components. This keeps your dropdowns clutter-free and easier to navigate. Log in and try it out today!
