Time tracking with Jira to Clarity connection

[SCT]

Hello all - Looking to see if there are any users out there who use Clarity for time tracking AND have a connector set up between Jira and Clarity. 

Most of our work takes place in Jira at the Story/Task/Bug level but our users must track their time in Clarity at a much higher level than that. I am looking for thoughts or recommendations on how our users can relate those Stories/Tasks/Bugs back to the correct Clarity project for time tracking? Right now, our users would have to click through 3 to 4 levels of parents in Jira to know what their work relates to. 

For reference, our Jira hierarchy is: Story/Task/Bugs > Epics > Features > Initiatives

Jira Initiatives connect to Clarity projects where time is being tracked.

Hi Sct,

There is a Broadcom Solution called ValueOps ConnectALL which allows easy data sync between solutions like Clarity and Jira. I am the product Manager for it and we have released a new version in February to allow Jira Worklogs to Clarity Timesheets.

Here is a high level overview (part of the release note: Link):

Clarity Adapter - Support Timesheet

Clarity OOTB Adapter supports the synchronization of Jira's WorkLog with Clarity's Timesheet

• In the new Clarity standard adapter, Timesheet synchronization has been introduced that allows you to synchronize WorkLogs entered in Jira to TimeSheets in Clarity and provide better visibility in Clarity.
• The new Timesheet synchronization will have capabilities to sync the efforts logged in Jira to Clarity along with the Work Descriptions entered in Jira.
• This offering will provide a comprehensive and flexible approach and give real-time visibility of the ongoing development work.
• This offering now allows you to:
• Time efforts created / Updated in Jira : <Entity> : WorkLog will be synced to Clarity : Task : Timesheet
• In Jira - Multiple time entries are created for the same day - the Time will be aggregated and sync to the respective date in Clarity.
• Jira : WorkLog - Work Description will be synced to Clarity : Task : Notes.
