Jira Integration

Connect Pointing Poker with your Jira instance to seamlessly import stories from your Scrum boards. This integration uses OAuth 2.0 for a secure, one-click connection — no API tokens needed.

Beta: the Jira integration is currently in beta. If you encounter any issues, please let us know.

Step 1 · Connect to Jira

  1. Open your Pointing Poker room
  2. Toggle on the Jira integration
  3. Click the "Connect with Jira" button
  4. You'll be redirected to Atlassian to authorize Pointing Poker
  5. Select the Jira site you want to connect and click "Accept"
  6. You'll be redirected back to your room, now connected

Your connection persists across sessions — you only need to do this once. You can disconnect at any time from the settings panel.

Step 2 · Select a project

  1. After connecting, your Jira projects will load automatically
  2. Select the project you want to estimate from the dropdown
  3. If the project has an active sprint, it will be detected automatically

Step 3 · Import stories

  1. Choose an issue source: current sprint, upcoming sprints, backlog, or all issues
  2. Click "Fetch Issues" to load stories from Jira
  3. Select the stories you want to estimate (or select all)
  4. Click "Import X Issues" to add them to your session

Step 4 · Estimate and export

  1. Vote on each imported issue with your team
  2. Set the final estimate after revealing votes
  3. Click "Export to Jira" to write the story points back to the issue
  4. A comment is automatically added to the issue with voting details

Troubleshooting

Connection failed

  • Make sure you selected the correct Jira site during authorization
  • Try disconnecting and reconnecting from the settings panel
  • Ensure your Atlassian account has access to the Jira projects you need

No sprints showing

  • Confirm your project has an active sprint with issues assigned
  • Sprints are detected via issues — an empty active sprint won't appear
  • Try using "All Issues" as the source instead

Stories not loading

  • Ensure the sprint has stories assigned
  • Verify you have permission to view the issues
  • Try selecting a different issue source

Connection expired

  • OAuth tokens refresh automatically, but may expire if unused for an extended period
  • Click "Reconnect" or disconnect and connect again

Security and privacy

Secure OAuth 2.0 connection

Pointing Poker uses Atlassian's official OAuth 2.0 authorization flow. You never share your password or API tokens with us — authentication happens directly through Atlassian.

How it works:

  • OAuth 2.0:you authorize Pointing Poker through Atlassian's secure consent flow. We never see your Atlassian password.
  • Encrypted token storage: OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256 and stored in a secure database.
  • Automatic refresh: access tokens are short-lived and refreshed automatically, minimizing exposure.
  • Minimal permissions: we only request the scopes needed to read projects, issues, and write story point estimates.
  • Full control: disconnect at any time from the settings panel, or revoke access from your Atlassian account settings.
