Before You Begin
To set up the integration, you will need:
A ProductPlan account,
Jira administrator access, and
Information on which type of Jira environment you are using (e.g., Jira Cloud, Data Center v8.6, etc.). Go to the Jira troubleshooting page if you are unsure of how to find this information.
Getting Started
To begin, go to your integrations page in ProductPlan and select the Jira Software card. On the next screen, click Begin Jira Integration and enter your Jira base URL:
If this is the first time someone from your organization is configuring the integration, you will need to follow the steps below based on your version:
Jira Cloud
Jira Data Center or Server
v7.x or v8.x
v9.x and later
Jira Cloud
If someone on your team has already done this, you will simply need to authenticate your Jira account. In this case, you will see the following screen. Just click Allow to authorize the integration; you should not need to complete any of the remaining steps on this page.
After entering your Jira base URL on your integrations page in ProductPlan, you will be provided with the Consumer and Public Keys needed for completing the configuration. Go to your Jira account that has admin privileges and follow the steps below to complete the integration:
From any page, click on the cog in the upper right corner to access Jira Settings and select the Products option.
Select Application Links from the menu on the left, then click on Create Link in the upper right corner.
Enter this as the URL in the indicated field: https://app.productplan.com and ensure the Direct Application Link radio button is selected. Then click Continue.
Note: If you get a warning saying, "No response was received from the URL you entered", click Continue.
The following screen will contain a form to enter information. Complete ONLY the following fields, and leave all remaining fields blank. Then click Continue.
Under Application Name, enter "ProductPlan".
For Application Type, select "Generic Application".
On the Application Links page, click the Edit icon in the Actions column to the right of your newly created ProductPlan application.
Select Incoming Authentication (Note: you may need to scroll to the bottom of the modal in Jira to see all fields).
Enter the following values, provided from your integrations page in ProductPlan, then click Save.
Consumer Key: (provided by ProductPlan)

Click Allow to authenticate your account.
Jira On-Premise (Server or Data Center)
If your Jira server is on-premise (including Jira Server and Jira Data Center), you should still be able to integrate with ProductPlan. You will need to allowlist the ProductPlan IP Addresses in your firewall so that we can make connections to your Jira server. You can make the connection through port 443.
Use these IP addresses for the connections:
[52.5.38.201] and [52.7.247.138]
Alternatively, if you want more restrictions you can also open the following URI's:
[/plugins/servlet/oauth/*] and [/rest/api/*] and [/auth/jira/new]
Version 8

From your Dashboards page, access Jira Settings from the menu on the left.
Under the Jira Settings menu select Products (Note: earlier Jira versions may say Applications or Add-Ons).
Select Application Links from under the Integrations section.
Enter this as the URL in the indicated field: https://app.productplan.com.
Click Create new link. If you get a warning saying “No response was received from the URL you entered”, click Continue.

New Application Link
