How to manage multiple products in one release

Martijn Schuurmans May 21, 2023

With out team we are working on a cloud sllution, embedded software on a IOT device, local software runing on a server and a mobile app. These products work closely together so in a release we need to synchronise the different software versions. How can I manage that in Jira?

If you are referring to the challenge of creating the same version in multiple projects, this has been covered in a few posts already. You can find one answer here.

To summarise: It is possible to synchronise the creation of release versions in Jira using Jira Automation. 

For creation:
  • Trigger: When a new version is created.
  • Action: Create the corresponding version in the other project.
  • Action: Set the entity property.
  • It is advisable to use an entity property in the project to store the relationship between the two versions. This way, you can easily identify which version needs to be updated in the future. If you have a better alternative, you are welcome to use it.

For updating:
  • Trigger: When a version is updated.
  • Action: Read the project property, possibly by sending a web request to the project property endpoint.
  • Action: Update the version, possibly by sending another web request to the version endpoint.
There are also a number of third party apps that handle the syncing for you: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=version%20sync
