Jira integration is a core part of Teamline and is used across multiple areas of the product.
It allows Teamline to connect people’s updates with real work items, automate reporting, and generate meaningful analytics.
Below is a clear overview of where Jira integration is currently applied and how it works.
Jira integration in Timeline
Timeline is one of the main places where Jira integration is used.
When Jira is connected:
Tasks displayed in Timeline come directly from Jira
Timeline reflects real Jira issues assigned to team members
Clicking a task in Timeline opens the original Jira issue
Changes made in Jira are reflected in Timeline automatically
Timeline uses Jira data to show:
Who is working on what
How work is distributed over time
How estimates and tracked time fit into real workload
Time Tracking report in Timeline
Jira integration is also used in the Time Tracking report, which is attached to Timeline.
This report:
Collects time data from users via automation
Associates responses with Jira issues
Uses Jira estimates and tracked time fields
Feeds results into Insights -- Timesheets
Without Jira integration, this report and related analytics are not available.
Time-tracking report results: Slack on the right, Teams on the left
Jira integration in Reports (task-based questions)
Jira (and Trello) integration can be used inside Reports through a special question type.
Task response questions
When a question is set to Task response:
Respondents see a dropdown with tasks from Jira or Trello
Which tasks appear is controlled by admin-defined rules
Selected tasks are treated as structured answers
This allows reports to:
Collect updates per task
Link responses directly to work items
Power task-level analytics and summaries
A task response type question with the JIRA integration
Jira integration in advanced report templates
Teamline also supports advanced report templates with extended question customization.
At the moment, there are two such templates:
Planning Poker
Backlog Refinement
These templates follow the same core report logic (schedule -- respondents -- questions -- delivery), but provide more powerful configuration options for admins.
A Planning Poker report template settings
Classic Standup report (default Jira integration)
If you install Teamline via the Jira Marketplace, Jira integration is enabled automatically.
As a result:
The Classic Standup report template comes with Jira integration turned on by default
This includes the standard questions:
What did you do yesterday?
What are you planning to do today?
Do you have any blockers?
A classic standup report in action (Slack)
This means you can start using Jira-powered standups immediately after installation, without additional setup.
Jira integration in Insights
Jira integration also powers key sections of the Insights tab.
Timesheets
The Timesheets section:
Shows automatically generated timesheets
Is based on results from the Time Tracking report
Uses Jira worklogs and task data
Without Jira integration, Timesheets are not available.
Task Details
The Task Details section:
Displays aggregated statistics for Jira tasks
Shows workload, throughput, and execution trends per user
Uses data collected from all Jira-powered reports in Teamline
This view combines information from:
Timeline
Standups
Time tracking reports
Other Jira-integrated reports
Without Jira integration, Task Details remains empty.
Summary
In short, Jira integration is used in Teamline to:
Power Timeline with real tasks
Enable Time Tracking and Timesheets
Add task-based questions to reports
Advanced report templates (Planning Poker, Backlog Refinement)
Activate Jira-backed Classic Standups
Generate task-level analytics in Insights
If Jira is connected, Teamline unlocks its full automation and analytics capabilities - turning daily updates into structured, actionable data.
