How to interface to MS Project?

[William Skidmore]

We run MS Project to generate Integrated Master Schedules.  Customer wants us to use JIRA.  How do we interface JIRA to MS Project?

Hi, Go2Group has an integration between JIRA and MS Project - Microsoft Project

I am not sure if it is shrink wrapped yet, but it is there and working.

You can fill out a form to request a trial at http://www.go2group.com/contact-us/

There is also a CCA SSO for their JIRA CAC and PIV cards, see http://www.go2group.com/gsa/client-certificate-authentication/

Ceptah Bridge does exactly that - it integrates JIRA with MS Project: https://www.ceptah.com/Bridge/Bridge.aspx

I used it, it is great. Totally recommended!

There is no way to integrate the two. Perhaps JIRA Portfolio could meet your needs? https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.radiantminds.roadmaps-jira#cloud or there are other add-ons which generate Gantt charts: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?application=&category=&cost=&hosting=cloud&marketingLabel=&q=gantt

Boris;

Thanks for the answer – disappointing though it is.

Is it possible to export to a flat file with the needed info, so that can be imported manually into MS Project.

This is for a DoD Customer, and they do not plan to purchase any add-ons, and if we bought it, it would not be a billable expense for us, so Portfolio is a dead end.

Thanks,

Bill

You could export to Excel: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Exporting+Search+Results+to+Microsoft+Excel and then import that into Project maybe? I have no idea how Project works though, so I am just guessing here.

You could also try the The Connector add-on, which integrates JIRA and MS Project. (Warning: its website looks a little outdated.)

If MS Project can import a CSV file, then you could develop an Excel template for the Better Excel Plugin that exports those exact columns in that exact format what MS Project expects. Then, convert the XLS file to CSV with Excel and import to MS Project.
