MURAL MAKES AGILE PROJECT MANAGEMENT FRICTIONLESS

Mural is an intuitive, visual collaboration environment that mirrors Agile
principles‌: ‌flexibility, transparency, and continuous improvement.

That’s why Mural supports Agile, from learning to development — and all the way
through shipping the next best thing. It does so by bringing together both the
design and the development lifecycles in a single, visual platform — enabling
closer collaboration at every level. 

As with all our platform updates, each additional feature is in service of the
Mural System — our holistic approach that makes working with Agile teams better
in every respect. In keeping with that sentiment, we’re excited to announce two
new features that are built to make managing your Agile projects seamless across
platforms. 

Whether it’s brainstorming, getting aligned, prioritizing your work, or
reflecting on everything you just shipped, Mural offers a comprehensive solution
that brings together not just technology, but also tools and techniques that
make Agile teamwork…actually work. 


JIRA AND AZURE DEVOPS TWO-WAY SYNC

Our Jira and Azure DevOps integrations are two of our most widely-used
integrations. What better way to visualize your sprints, dependencies, and
backlog than with Mural, amirite?  

Two-way sync, rolling out now for Enterprise accounts, enables teams to make
updates to their Jira issues or ADO work items and their corresponding fields
such as summary, status, and priority, and then send those changes to Jira and
ADO (or vice-versa). 

These changes allow for team leads, scrum masters, or product managers to follow
the progress of a sprint, or confidently run a stand-up knowing that their
updates are accurate. 

Details please!? OK, easy now, we were just getting there — here’s how it works
and why it’s such an important update for software development teams:

 * Real-time updates: When users import Jira issues or ADO work items into a
   canvas, they can see the most up-to-date information from Mural. Updates made
   in Jira can be synced to Mural, and any changes made in Mural can be synced
   back to Jira, ensuring that teams are always working with the most current
   information.
 * Make changes from Mural: Now, members can make changes to Jira issues
   directly from Mural. For example, during a project tracking review, members
   can change the status of a Jira issue from Mural. After the project review is
   completed, the user can sync those changes back to Jira.
 * Efficient collaboration: Stop switching tabs! Teams can stay in their flow in
   Mural and eliminate the toggle tax that happens when teams need to bounce
   between Jira and Mural to know the most recent updates. Teams no longer have
   to re-import Jira issues to get the latest data from Jira into Mural.

COMING SOON: MURAL’S SMART PLANNER FEATURE

Plan your next sprint review, PI planning, or retrospective using our upcoming
Smart Planner feature. 

Say you’re building a planning board and assigning different statuses (like
‘backlog,’ ‘in progress,’ and ‘done’).

With Smart Planner, when you add tasks or tickets as sticky notes to each
column, you can watch their status dynamically update as items are moved between
columns. (In technical terms, that means the metadata from the sticky notes is
automatically updated, because the Smart Planner recognizes that metadata and
makes the updates for you.) 



Column names are completely customizable to fit your planning needs, so it could
be “Now, Next, Later,” “To Do, In Progress, Blocked,” or “Rose, Bud, Thorn” — to
name a couple more examples. 

When you couple this with the two-way sync noted above, it creates an even more
effective way to plan. As sticky notes are moved between the columns, helpful
information is captured on the info panel, which can then be pushed directly to
Jira or ADO. 

Stay tuned for more information about Smart Planner — coming soon. 


HOW WELL DOES YOUR TEAM WORK? TAKE THE MURAL TEAMWORK ASSESSMENT 

Like we said above, all of our updates are made in service of our mission to
improve teamwork across the enterprise. Ultimately, the Mural System is about
creating an environment where teamwork can thrive. 

But tech alone isn't a cure-all. If you’d like to take your teamwork to the next
level, the first step is to see where you stand right now. The Mural Teamwork
Assessment is a quick, three-step process to help you quantify what is going
well, and what areas need improvement for your team to realize its true
potential, and score the championship-winning penalty shot against your
arch-rivals, the Hawks. (Wait, sorry — that’s the plot of The Mighty Ducks. But
you get my point.)

Take the Mural Teamwork Assessment now and get a pulse check on how we can help
craft solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Ready to take your team to the next level?
Take our quick teamwork assessment to learn how well your team works together,
and where you can improve.
