Hello everyone

How are things going ? 2019 off to a good start ?

I have been tasked with establishing a full integration between JIRA and
Remedy (MYIT / ITSM). We are currently running Remedy 9.1 , ITSM 8.1 and
MYIT 3.4 and while we do have plans this year to upgrade all our modules to
the latest remedy versions, I need to determine how much work / effort is
involved in getting a complete integration between these 2 keys systems
with the current versions that we have. We understand that we might need to
re-work some of the integrations as we upgrade - however as long as we have
a starting point then we are good.

So my initial thought it so have the following integration and it is a bit
high level however it is a starting point:

1. Requester logs into MYIT and logs a request for a issue that they are
experiencing. This in turn logs a Incident which is assigned to a support
group;

2. The support group determines that this is a BUG and can either assign a
incident to a development  team or they can create a task in the Incident
and assign it to the development team;
(If so required, we could also get the MYIT Request to push directly to
JIRA if no Incident is needed)

3. Remedy has workflow that is setup to push any tickets assigned to that
development team to a JIRA storyboard;

4. When successfully created, a JIRA reference number is pushed back to
Remedy and updated on the ticket thus a relationship between the 2 systems;

5. As the JIRA moves through the different life-cycles, the ticket status
in Remedy is updated;

6. Any Information or notes added in JIRA are also pushed back to the
Remedy ticket which in turn are pushed to MYIT (If Public Work info's) so
the requester is kept updated;

7. Likewise, any work info's added in Remedy need to be pushed back to JIRA
to keep the developer updated;

8. When the JIRA ticket is completed, we can then automatically log a
change request in Remedy, associated it to the JIRA ticket and also
associated the change request to the logged Incident. This will let the
Requester know that there is a scheduled release date etc;

9. Once the bug fix code is deployed, the JIRA task is closed (Completed),
which in turn completes all associated Remedy tickets (Incident, Tasks,
Change Requests) with a final work info update to MYIT for the requester to
see.

How does the above sound ? Have I missed anything ?
The key for us is that the 2 systems need to be very interactive with each
other as we don't want the development team having to use 2 different
systems to do their work. Likewise, we don't want our end users having to
log requests in 2 different systems.

The key thing is automation and ease of use.

Has anyone done anything similar in their company? If so, please can you
share how you did it, what challengers you faced or if there are any
articles / whitepapers you recommend I read so that we can get this
requirement out as efficiently as possible.

Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Brad
