Quick answer
To integrate Miro with Jira, open the Miro App Marketplace from your board's toolbar, search for the Jira Cloud app, and connect your Atlassian account. Once authorized, you can pull Jira issues onto your board as cards, or convert sticky notes into new Jira issues, keeping both platforms synced in real time.
Steps at a glance
- Open the App Marketplace from the board toolbar.
- Search for "Jira Cloud" and add the app.
- Sign in and authorize your Atlassian account.
- Select the Jira site and project to connect.
- Pull Jira issues onto the board or push cards to Jira.
- Enable two-way sync to keep updates aligned.
- Adjust sharing settings for teammates viewing the board.
Summary
Miro's Jira integration lets teams pull existing issues onto a board and push new ideas from a board straight into Jira as tickets. Because the connection runs on a bi-directional sync, changes made in either tool update automatically, so planning sessions and sprint boards never fall out of date.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open the App Marketplace
From an open board, click the Apps icon (puzzle piece) in the left-side toolbar, then select "More apps" or "App Marketplace" at the bottom of the panel. This opens Miro's directory of available integrations, including tools for Jira, Confluence, and other work-management platforms.
Step 2
Add the Jira Cloud app
Type "Jira" into the Marketplace search bar and select the official Jira Cloud app from the results. Click "Add to board" or "Install" to add the integration to your current workspace.
Step 3
Connect your Atlassian account
Click "Connect Jira" inside the app panel and sign in with your Atlassian credentials when prompted. Approve the permissions request so Miro can read and write issue data on your behalf, then choose the Jira site you want to link.
Step 4
Select a project to sync
Pick the specific Jira project whose issues you want visible on your board. You can link multiple projects later by repeating this step, which is useful if you run several boards for different product teams.
Step 5
Pull Jira issues onto your board
Use the Jira panel's search or filter options to find issues, then drag them onto the canvas. Each issue appears as a live card showing status, assignee, and priority, which you can arrange alongside existing sticky notes or place inside a frame to organize by sprint.
Step 6
Turn sticky notes into Jira issues
Select one or more sticky notes, right-click, and choose "Create Jira issue." Map the note's text to the issue title and description, assign a project, and submit — the new ticket appears in Jira immediately and stays linked to the card on your board.
Step 7
Check sync and sharing settings
Confirm two-way sync is active so edits in Jira reflect back on the board and vice versa. Before inviting stakeholders, review your board's sharing permissions or set the board to invite-only if the linked issues contain sensitive project details.
Why this matters
You just wrapped a sprint planning session full of sticky notes and diagrams, and now someone has to manually retype every idea into Jira. Connecting the two tools skips that busywork, so your team's brainstorm turns into trackable tickets instantly and stays updated as work progresses.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a paid Miro plan to use the Jira integration?
No, the Jira Cloud app is available on Miro's free plan. You do need an Atlassian account with access to the Jira project you want to connect.
Does the sync work both ways?
Yes, updates made to an issue in Jira reflect on the linked card in Miro, and changes made to fields on the card can push back to Jira, as long as two-way sync is enabled.
Can I convert multiple sticky notes into Jira issues at once?
Yes, select multiple notes before right-clicking and choosing the create-issue option. Each selected note becomes its own separate Jira issue using its text as the title.
