Jira integration for Rig
The easiest way to connect Jira to Claude and other AI tools
Jira is Atlassian's issue and project tracker, where teams manage issues, sprints, boards and agile workflows across software and operations.
What Rig syncs from Jira
Once connected, Rig models these objects so questions resolve to the right tables and joins:
- Issues
- Issue changelog
- Sprints
- Projects
- Boards
- Statuses
- Story points
- Worklogs
- Components
How Jira connects to Rig
Rig Ingest syncs your Jira issues, sprints and issue changelog into your warehouse on a schedule, tracking every status transition. Rig then models sprints and story points so velocity and cycle time questions resolve correctly.
Measure cycle time and lead time per issue
Cycle time is the time an issue spends in active work, and lead time is from creation to done. Rig reads the Jira issue changelog and status transitions, so you can see how long issues take, where they sit in each status, and how that trends across sprints.
- What was median cycle time by issue type last sprint?
- Which status do issues sit in longest on average?
- Show lead time trend over the last six sprints
Track sprint velocity and commitment reliability
Rig joins Jira story points to sprint outcomes, so you can see how many points a team completes per sprint and how often they hit their commitment. That makes sprint planning grounded in delivered velocity rather than guesses.
- What is average sprint velocity by team over the last quarter?
- How often does each team complete its committed sprint scope?
- How many story points carried over between sprints?
Monitor backlog health and aging issues
By reading Jira statuses, components and timestamps, Rig shows how the backlog is growing, which issues are stale, and how triage keeps pace with incoming work. Product owners use it to keep the backlog from rotting.
- How many open issues are in the backlog by project and component?
- Which issues have not been updated in 60 days?
- Is the open issue count growing or shrinking month over month?
Analyse bug trends and contributor workload
Rig groups Jira issues by type, component and assignee over time, so you can track bug inflow versus resolution and see how work is distributed. That surfaces overloaded contributors and components that keep breaking.
- How many bugs were opened versus resolved last month?
- Which components generate the most defects?
- Show open issue count by assignee right now
Ask your Jira data in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor
Rig serves your Jira data to AI assistants over MCP. Once Jira is synced into your warehouse, you can ask questions in plain English from the tool you already use, and every answer is backed by validated, governed SQL.
