New Jira App For Microsoft Teams Microsoft has introduced a new Jira app for Microsoft Teams. The app allows you to create and comment on existing issues without having to open a new browser tab or application for Jira. It also supports customizable Jira notifications through Teams, searching through Jira from a Teams chat, and improved link cards that are actionable. The new Jira app has built-in functionality to turn Teams chats into a comment on a Jira issue—or even a new Jira issue altogether. For those unplanned tasks or assignments that come up in meetings, the Jira app can be used directly in the Teams meeting experience to edit issues assigned to you—right in the side panel. To keep everyone on a team engaged and connected in hybrid work styles, the new Jira link cards in Teams chats are now actionable, so team members can edit fields, add comments, and update the status right from chat. No waiting for a new browser window to load and no logging in again—elegantly keeping everyone in the flow of work. To ensure that IT admins can control these integrated ecosystems, the Microsoft Teams admin center allows admins to enable the Jira app’s availability for an organization, pre-pin it for teams, and monitor app usage.
