Change Management to Change Management in JIRA

You can associate change management requests in Rational Team Concert with change management requests in JIRA.

About this task

The Rational Adapter for JIRA can be used to integrate Rational change management artifacts and JIRA artifacts, useful when working with teams that use both Rational products and JIRA. You can link to a JIRA issue with a Related change request link, an Affected by defect link, or an Affects a plan item link.

This procedure is based on the Money that Matters scenarios described in https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/MTM_Lifecycle_Scenario and uses the Related change request link type. It shows you how to link a change request from Rational Team Concert to a JIRA change request (also known as an issue), creating the JIRA link as part of the link process. You can follow these steps using the Money that Matters sample, or adapt them to your own project.
