Requirements Management to Change Management in JIRA

You can associate Rational requirements artifacts with JIRA tasks.

About this task

The Rational Adapter for JIRA can be used to integrate Rational requirements artifacts and JIRA artifacts, useful when working with teams that use both Rational products and JIRA. You can link to a JIRA task with either a Tracked by link or an Implemented by link.

The procedure described here is based on the Money that Matters scenarios described in https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/MTM_Lifecycle_Scenario. It shows you how to link a Rational requirement to a JIRA task, creating the JIRA link as part of the link process. You can follow these steps using the Money that Matters sample, or adapt them to your own project.
