Cross-team collaboration on service delivery
Time to SLA Canned Responses Enhancer Plugin for Jira Jira Integration+ Dashboard Hub

Service delivery is inherently “messy”, spanning across siloed departments and communication platforms like Jira Service Management, Jira Software, Slack, and Microsoft Teams.
We recognize that teams such as IT, Support, Development, and Quality Assurance often need to collaborate to deliver a great service fast. That’s why our tools are available on Jira Service Management and Jira Software for seamless cross-team collaboration on service delivery workflows.

What’s more, we also recognize that “customers” (whether that’s external customers or internal stakeholders in the form of other teams) prefer to use tools such as Slack and Microsoft Teams to request a service. Our apps can connect these communication platforms with Jira for happy customers and service teams.

Time to SLA: Jira’s native SLA tool is available in Jira Service Management whilst Time to SLA integrates with both JSM and Jira Software, to bring SLA tracking to Dev teams and boost cross-team collaboration.

Canned Responses: Service Desk teams can create response templates for common tickets in JSM. Whilst Dev teams can do the same for bug reports, story points, feature requests, and other common tasks in Jira Software.

Enhancer Plugin for Jira: Create clear KPIs for any service delivery team in JSM and Jira Software.

Jira Integration+: Connect Jira with Slack and Microsoft Teams so service delivery teams can do what they do best in Jira without context switching, and stakeholders can easily request services directly from Slack and Microsft Teams.
