What is Monday.com?
Monday.com is a customizable web and mobile work management platform, designed to help teams and organizations with operational efficiency by tracking projects and workflows, visualizing data, and team collaboration. It includes automation capabilities and supports integrations with other work apps.
Many of our customers are using SpiraTest, SpiraTeam and SpiraPlan in heterogeneous environments, with different teams using different tools to manage team-level development activities. For example, teams may be using Jira, GitLab and Azure DevOps in the same company. Several customers reached out to us looking for us to add a similar connector for Monday.com so that managers could create and assign the tasks in SpiraTeam, but allow the teams to track and complete their tasks in Monday.com.
We are seeing a move away from some of the more heavyweight, complex tools such as Jira, Rational products and Micro Focus ALM to newer tools such as SpiraTeam and GitLab. The new plugin for Monday.com is the next step in that trend.
How Does the Plugin Work?
Our new plugin for Monday.com is available for both cloud and on-premise customers of SpiraTeam. For on-premise customers you need to download the plugin into your environment:
For cloud customers it is available already on our cloud synchronization platform.
Once enabled, you can log new incidents and tasks directly in SpiraTeam as normal:
The new incidents and tasks will then be synchronized over to Monday.com as a new task:
When users make any of the following changes in Monday.com, they will synchronize back into Spira:
- Assign the task to someone
- Mark the task as completed
- Add a comment to the task
- Make changes to its name or description
In addition, the Spira task will automatically include a hyperlink to the corresponding item in Monday.com.
With this plugin, you can now manage your Spira incidents and tasks from the comfort of Monday.com:
