Code-free automation for all Jira Cloud projects
Even the most inspiring initiatives can get bogged down in the monotony of daily tasks, like manually assigning work or sending constant reminders to update a status. It's exciting for everyone to set aside this busy work and focus on the meaningful challenges we signed up for. Atlassian has taken an exciting step in this direction by announcing that automation is now natively available in Jira Cloud.
Since acquiring Automation for Jira at the end of 2019, much progress has been made to make this powerful automation engine natively available to all Jira Cloud customers. Here's what you can expect from this robust offering:
It helps you and your team automate tedious, repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on higher-value work.
Work can get messy. There are many teams, many tools, and many processes. Automation organizes all of this for you without adding workload or complexity.
It works across all Jira Cloud products but also integrates with tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams.
By using automation, DevOps practices flow smoothly from code to production.
While automating processes that cover DevOps and IT operations teams, it takes Jira Service Desk’s ITSM capabilities to the next level.
And perhaps most importantly, it's easy to use. You get more power without the complexity. According to the current Automation survey for Jira customers, more than half of those who automate their work with Jira say it saves them over six hours a month, and 87% say it helps their organization scale the way they work.
With automation tirelessly working in the background, your work will flow seamlessly, allowing your team to reach peak productivity levels.
"Jira automation is indispensable. It saves my team a ton of time, and building automation across all of our tools is simple and easy." — David Yu, Jira Administrator, Lyft
Automation is a "no-code" feature. To automate your work, you can simply drag and drop if-then-do rules together and resolve scenarios with literally endless use cases without adding any complexity. Whether it's automatically closing old issues, keeping your Epics and Stories in sync, or automating your entire release process across Jira, Bitbucket, and Slack, it only takes a few clicks. Here are some example automation rule templates for common tasks:
Automation is already an integral part of any forward-thinking business strategy; in the world of tomorrow, no business can thrive without it. With Butler for Trello, and now the automation engine added to Jira, an automation platform is being built that provides value today while also being a platform for the future of work.
"We envision a world where developers spend less time in Jira and more time building valuable assets." — Automation is now available out of the box for every user across the entire Jira Cloud family.
