Work With Jira From Microsoft 365 Copilot

Your day already runs through Microsoft 365. Now your Jira work can too. The Move Work Forward with Jira agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot lets you check, find, create and update Jira issues in plain language, right where you're already working.

What you can ask

  • "Show my open issues": list your work, filtered by space, issue type or status.
  • Teammates' work: ask what is assigned to someone else, for example before a stand-up or a handover.
  • Search: find issues across Jira, for example everything about one initiative, sprint or release.
  • View an issue: get the details of a single issue without opening Jira.
  • Create issues: describe what you need and the agent drafts it. Turning a chat into a task? Describe what was discussed and the agent adds it to the description.
  • Update issues: move an issue to a new status or assign it to someone.

Before it creates or changes anything, the agent shows you what it's about to do and asks you to confirm.

How teams are using it

Customers already use the agent to search sprints and releases, create epics for a new project, log a set of security tickets in one go, and keep IT service tasks moving, all from Copilot.

Get started

  1. Make sure you have a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.
  2. Install Move Work Forward with Jira from the Microsoft marketplace.
  3. Open Copilot, pick the Move Work Forward with Jira agent and ask it to connect.
  4. Select Connect Jira and sign in. No Entra ID setup is needed.

The full guide is in our documentation: Jira Copilot agent.

Working in Rovo? Meet our Teams Connector agent

If your team uses Atlassian Rovo, the Teams Connector Rovo agent in Advanced Microsoft Teams Connector for Jira lets you manage reminders, create discussion channels and set up personal notification rules in plain language. See the Rovo agent guide.

Good to know

  • The agent works with Jira Cloud.
  • It focuses on Jira issues. Notifications, reminders and discussion channels are handled by our Microsoft Teams app and Rovo agent.
