Jira Integration
The Jira integration links code activity to business work. Koalr reads issues, sprint data, and epic hierarchies to calculate lead time, sprint velocity, and cycle time breakdowns. Issue-PR linking is automatic when PRs reference Jira issue keys.
What Koalr pulls from Jira
- Issues (stories, bugs, tasks, epics) with status transitions and timestamps
- Sprint metadata — start/end dates, velocity, completion rates
- Epic hierarchy and issue-to-epic mappings
- Assignees and workload distribution across team members
- Story points and issue size estimates
- Labels, components, and custom fields
- Issue-to-PR links via smart commit messages and Jira Development panel
How Jira data feeds into Koalr
- Lead time for changes — measures time from issue creation to deployment
- Sprint analytics — velocity trends, scope creep detection, carryover rates
- Cycle time breakdown — in-progress time vs. blocked time vs. review time
- Issue-PR linking — connects code changes to the business work they represent
- Team onboarding metrics — how quickly new members reach full velocity
