Overview

The Jira integration creates a two-way bridge between Jira Software and PlayerZero.
Once connected, PlayerZero will:

  • Import issues, stories, epics, and sprints in near real-time
  • Link user-facing defects to the exact Jira ticket that introduced them
  • Surface ticket status, assignee, and priority inside every PlayerZero incident

By unifying production signals with your backlog, PlayerZero helps teams triage faster and ship with confidence.
