Get mapping table of Jira Board to Jira Align team from Jira Align REST API

[Bram Langelaar]

Hi all! :-)

Our company is using both Jira and Jira Align. We have an integration between the two.

Context:
- We extract data - for analytics purposes - from Jira on Board ID.

- We currently ask the teams to provide their team name & map it to their Jira Board ID.

- We thought that the mapping table in Jira Align under “Settings > Connectors > Jira Management” could be of use, since this table maps Jira Board ID’s to Jira Align Teams. (See images below)

- Is it possible to extract a table from the Jira Align REST API which stores the Jira Board ID and Jira Align Team columns? It would really help us to also aggregate our KPI’s to the upper levels (Program > Portfolio) of the SAFe organizational model.

- If this is not possible; can we somewhere request this feature?

Thank you in advance,
Bram

Hi @Bram Langelaar !

Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately API 2.0 doesn't currently support the extract of Board ID data that you area looking for (we can pull a list of all teams, but it doesn't list an associated Jira Board ID). 

Great idea on requesting a new enhancement to do this! To submit an enhancement idea, go to the following site and create an account (if you don't have one already). Once your account is approved you will be able to submit an idea to our Product Management Team.

Also, here's a great community post on our ideation portal:

Hope this helps!

If you've purchased Leo, you could always ask to see if it could be added to your BI data warehouse to concatenate the information

Update to the above comment "Leo" is now called "Enterprise Insights" and is a Business Intelligence tool.

@Bram Langelaar  - You can now get Jira Software Board <-> Jira Align Team [Launched] Jira Align launches 5 new Jira Connector APIs (atlassian.com)

The response from Get /align/api/2/Connectors/{connectorId}/boards returns boardId, boardName, teamId, and teamName.

If you want to get the Jira project <-> Align team, you will need to use both Align APIs and Jira APIs:  

• Use the response from Get /align/api/2/Connectors/{connectorId}/boards to get the Board <-> Team mapping
• Jira API needed is Get /rest/agile/1.0/board (Get All Boards).  This provides list of all boards has id (the board id), location.projectId, location.projectKey, location.projectName.  NOTE:   you will need to page thru the https://<yourJiraURL>/rest/agile/1.0/board responses until you get to the response page with "isLast":true

Once you construct a table of all boards from the Jira API you can correlate to get the mapping of Project <-> Board <-> Team
