The Jira Development panel integration allows you to reference Jira issues in GitLab, displaying
activity in the [Development panel](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/view-development-information-for-an-issue/)
in the issue.
It complements the [GitLab Jira integration](../user/project/integrations/jira.md). You may choose
to configure both integrations to take advantage of both sets of features. See a
[feature comparison](../user/project/integrations/jira_integrations.md#feature-comparison).
Depending on your environment, you can enable this integration by either:
- Configuring [the Jira DVCS connector](#jira-dvcs-configuration).
- Using the [GitLab for Jira app](#gitlab-for-jira-app) in the Atlassian Marketplace.
See the [Configuration](#configuration) section for details.

[GitLab for Jira app](#gitlab-for-jira-app) from the Atlassian Marketplace, which offers a real-time
sync between GitLab and Jira.
- Self-managed GitLab, self-managed Jira, or both, configure the integration using

We recommend that a GitLab group maintainer or group owner, or instance administrator (in the case of
self-managed GitLab) set up the integration to simplify administration.

# Jira integrations **(FREE)**
GitLab can be integrated with [Jira](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira).
[Issues](../issues/index.md) are a tool for discussing ideas, and planning and tracking work.
However, your organization may already use Jira for these purposes, with extensive, established data
and business processes they rely on.
Although you can [migrate](../../../user/project/import/jira.md) your Jira issues and work
exclusively in GitLab, you can also continue to use Jira by using the GitLab Jira integrations.
## Integration types
There are two different Jira integrations that allow different types of cross-referencing between
GitLab activity and Jira issues, with additional features:
- [Jira integration](jira.md), built in to GitLab. In a given GitLab project, it can be configured
to connect to any Jira instance, either hosted by you or hosted in
[Atlassian cloud](https://www.atlassian.com/cloud).
- [Jira development panel integration](../../../integration/jira_development_panel.md). Connects all
GitLab projects under a specified group or personal namespace.
Jira development panel integration configuration depends on whether:
- You're using GitLab.com or a self-managed GitLab instance.
- You're using Jira on [Atlassian cloud](https://www.atlassian.com/cloud) or on your own server.

time.

If your organization uses [Jira](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira) issues,
you can [migrate](../../../user/project/import/jira.md) your issues from Jira and work
exclusively in GitLab.
However, if you'd like to continue to use Jira, you can integrate it with GitLab.
There are two ways to use GitLab with Jira:
- [Jira integration](jira.md). Connect a GitLab project
to a Jira instance. The Jira instance can be hosted by you or in [Atlassian cloud](https://www.atlassian.com/cloud).
- [Jira Development panel integration](../../../integration/jira_development_panel.md).
Connect all GitLab projects under a group or personal namespace.
The integration you choose depends on the capabilities you require.
You can also install both at the same time.
