Create teams based on Jira teams

Meet the new BigPicture navigation

A faster, smarter, and more intuitive way to work is here. We’ve redesigned BigPicture navigation to give you a smoother experience and better access to what matters most.

→ Discover what’s new, explore key improvements, and review feature name updates on the New navigation page.

→ The rollout will happen gradually, and the previous navigation will be retired in September 2026.

Create teams based on Jira teams

Functionality unavailable

The current Forge API doesn't support the same Jira team synchronization you experienced on the Connect version of the app. We are actively working with Atlassian and exploring internal solutions to restore this functionality as soon as possible.

Initial setup

The setup is described on the following page: Jira Teams.

Add Jira teams to a box

In the Teams module:

  1. Click the + button.

  2. Select Create new team based on Jira team

Using the same Jira team in multiple boxes

You can’t create multiple box teams based on a single Jira team:

You can assign the same BigPicture team to multiple boxes.
