Introduction#

In this tutorial, we integrate Jira work items into a value stream and control value stream data with DQL queries.

All non-trivial value streams that you create require integration with external tools. You integrate external tools into the product by using plug-ins. UrbanCode™Velocity provides numerous plug-ins for you to use. In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to use the popular issue-tracking system, Jira. If you do not use Jira, the concepts that you will learn in this tutorial apply to other issue-tracking tools, and most other external tools as well. Additionally, the DQL queries that you define to control tutorial data are similar to those that you will use in all value streams that you create.
