Asana + Jira: Cross-Team Project Alignment

Keep Asana tasks and Jira tickets in sync so operations and engineering teams collaborate without duplicate work.

Operations teams plan in Asana while engineering executes in Jira, and the gap creates constant overhead. The asana jira integration via Neotask keeps both systems accurate.

What You Can Automate

Cross-Functional Sprint Planning

Asana tasks marked Ready for Engineering automatically create Jira issues in the current sprint.

Bug Report Routing

QA teams log bugs in Asana and Neotask creates linked Jira bug tickets for engineering.

Engineering Status Back-Sync

When a Jira issue is resolved, the linked Asana task is marked complete automatically.

Dependency Tracking

Asana dependencies spanning engineering work are mirrored as Jira issue links.

Release Milestone Coordination

Asana milestones create corresponding Jira version markers for release alignment.

Capacity Planning

Aggregate Jira story points for issues linked to Asana projects for capacity data.

How It Works

Connect both

Link Asana and Jira to Neotask with secure authentication.

Describe sync rules

Tell Neotask which Asana events create or update Jira issues.

Neotask keeps both in sync

Records synchronized including status, assignees, and fields.

Capabilities

Asana Action	Jira Action	Use Case
Task moved to Engineering	Create issue	Sprint intake
Bug logged	Create bug ticket	QA handoff
Jira issue resolved	Complete Asana task	Status sync
Dependency created	Create issue link	Blocker tracking
Milestone reached	Create Jira version	Release coordination

How the Asana Jira Integration Removes Friction

Neotask connects to both and watches for defined triggers - status changes, new tasks, completed milestones - then executes the corresponding action in the other system.

Mapping Asana Projects to Jira Epics

Neotask can map entire Asana projects to Jira epics. Tasks become issues, maintaining hierarchy on both sides.

Syncing Task Status

When Asana moves to In Progress, Jira follows. When Jira closes, Asana completes. Both teams see accurate status.

Reporting Across Both Systems

Neotask generates weekly summaries showing Asana completion alongside Jira velocity for unified leadership views.

Try Asking Neotask

• When an Asana task in [project] moves to [section], create a Jira issue in [project key].
• Mark the Asana task [task name] complete when its linked Jira issue is resolved.
• Create a Jira epic for the Asana project [project name] and sync all tasks as child issues.
• When a bug is added to Asana [project] with tag [tag], create a Jira bug ticket.
• Generate a weekly summary of completed Jira issues and matching Asana tasks for [project].

Pro Tips

Tip

Add a custom field in Asana for Jira Issue Key to link records directly.

Tip

Use Asana sections as triggers for Jira issue creation rather than task creation.

Tip

Sync only tasks assigned to your engineering team to avoid Jira backlog noise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the asana jira integration sync in both directions?

Yes. Neotask supports bi-directional sync with configurable rules to prevent loops.

Does it work with Jira Cloud and Server?

Neotask supports both Jira Cloud and Data Center.

Can I sync Asana subtasks to Jira subtasks?

Yes. Neotask can map subtask hierarchies across both tools.
