As a product manager I want to have a feature I just created be automatically created in my integrated system, such as Jira.
Adding a check box in the integration configuration for "Automatically send issue to integrated system" would be an easy way of handling this. Aha! should know if there are multiple integrations for a product and only allow for one to be configured to automatically send the feature.
Thank you for your idea. Integrations are designed intentionally to require you to select when a new record should be sent. This is to prevent the record from accidentally being sent to engineering before you are ready. There are ways to send in bulk, either by sending a parent record (like a release or master feature) or using bulk edit in the features list.
Given the explanation above, we are unlikely to implement this idea at this time. We hope you can understand.
Hopeing to bring this discussion back up a bit. At a minimum, Aha should allow the user the option to automatically send features to Jira. The integration with Jira allows for automatic import of issues created in Jira to Aha. So this drives me to actually create issues in Jira instead of working out of Aha.
+1, there are purely agile areas that want to have items automatically drive into the lower system
Agreed. This admin response with all due respect seems silly. If you wanted to ensure it is scoped properly before sending to engineering, you could still solve this with automation. Perhaps by setting up a status "Ready for engineering" and when it hits this status it then send to integration. Having part of someones job role to "make sure all features are manually pushed to integration" seems silly when trying to streamline process and project management.
This has been a huge issue for us as well and we are disappointed that this has to be a manual task every time. Users should at least have the option to send automatically or not. Lot of time wasted manually clicking every single one.
With the industry heading towards more automation the decision to keep manual steps in the product will hurt the product in the long run.
