    • Task in Asana → Story in Jira
    • Sub-task in Asana → Sub-Task in Jira
  • Fields: [A detailed mapping of fields was established, including bi-directional synchronization of comments, attachments, and statuses.]

Success Metrics:

The primary measure of success for IOHK was the flawless migration of field values and their subsequent integration. The goal was to ensure stable, reliable integration that would facilitate the creation of essential management dashboards.

Vendor Selection Process:

IOHK chose Getint directly from the Atlassian Marketplace without considering other tools. Impressed by the documentation and a prompt, insightful demo provided by the Getint team, IOHK was convinced of both the tool's efficacy and its competitive pricing, which made the decision straightforward.

Client’s Experience with Getint:
