Migrate and/or perform Bi-Directional Sync – Jira Zephyr and Azure DevOps
This is the primary question to consider before going any further. Tracking and managing the progress of projects is essential, and luckily for project managers, several useful software solutions exist to help simplify the process.
Azure DevOps by Microsoft and Atlassian’s Jira are considered two of the most popular software development management tools used by companies worldwide. However, transferring or synchronizing data between the two tools becomes a critical issue. The transition from using one management tool to another is a costly and time-consuming affair. Kovair QuickSync is one such tool that will help you solve your migration and or synchronization problems.
Use either of the two project management tools and stay in touch with all of the relevant information from the other one.

Through migration to Azure DevOps with Jira Zephyr, an organization can seamlessly manage product development in a single tool. The engineers using Azure DevOps will have clear visibility into the exact test status and real-time access to any defects tagged to the requirements along with traceability. The migration achieved through Kovair QuickSync ensures that all historical and current data are moved to the target system with full context. Migration also takes care of attachments, comments and data interrelationships.
