Connect Jira and Windmill to bring engineering work into 1:1s and reviews
What is Jira?
Jira is Atlassian’s project and issue tracking software used by thousands of software and product teams worldwide. It provides robust tools for agile planning, sprint management, bug tracking, workflow customization, and cross-team collaboration.
How Windmill Uses Your Jira Integration
Windmill connects to Jira to bring engineering and product work into recaps, 1:1s, and performance reviews:
- Work context for 1:1s by tracking completed tickets, in-progress work, and upcoming sprint priorities
- Issue ownership and completion showing execution and delivery over time
- Status, sprint, and velocity signals to contextualize workload and throughput
- Comments, handoffs, descriptions, story points, tags, and issue types for collaboration and task context
Windmill reads work activity and issue content, including descriptions and comment bodies. It does not read source code or modify Jira.
Benefits of the Windmill Jira Integration
Reduce manual work summaries. Jira activity provides current work context without engineers having to reconstruct old tickets at review time.
Recognize more than code output. Debugging, triage, architecture, support, and collaboration can be represented through the issues and discussions where that work happens.
Ground reviews in actual work. Issue progress, ownership, sprint membership, comments, and handoffs provide concrete evidence for performance and coaching conversations.
