Is there a way to sync team goals and objectives between JIRA and Align?

[Daniel Hursh]

Many of our leadership conversations span up and down the entire SAFe structure from Portfolios down to teams and sprints.  Being able to relate work to agreed to outcomes, goals, and objectives is a big part of those conversations.  This starts to fall apart when we get below the train level as we don't sync goals and objectives between Align and Jira below that level.

Is this a technical limitation or a choice we made at some point in the past?  Can we sync these sets of information between the systems?  I have not seen these as types within the JIRA<>Align configuration for types.

@Daniel Hursh currently the integration does not sync goals and objectives between Jira and Jira Align.  

As part of the visibility and understanding the WHY, have you set up the WHY button in Jira?

Currently the WHY in Jira Align does not show Objectives associated to the work item and would be a great enhancement request for Jira Align.

@Daniel Hursh How are you representing objectives in Jira? Do you have a solution now, or are you hoping to have a way to do it in the future?
