Getting Atlassian Goals to appear on my Trello board

[Sascha]

Hi all,

I'm setting up a Trello board to keep track of my work. I've been able to create cards from MS Teams message and have a list of Jira tickets assigned to me appear on my board. Where I'm struggling, is in getting Atlassian Goals into Trello (we use Goals to track our company OKRs). Goals doesn't appear as an option when connecting to Jira, and I can't find any other connectors or power-ups to achieve this.

Any ideas?

@Sascha it is an interesting idea, to bring Goals on your Trello board in the same way you do this with Jira Lists (I assume you are using this feature).

In the meantime, you could copy-paste URLs of the Goals you'd like to track on your board into the new card title - and hit "Enter". This will create a Smart Link card on your board, which shows name, status, due date of the goal and allow you to quickly navigate to this goal in Atlassian Home.

Hi Victor (long time no see😉 ), I am using Jira lists to pull in Jira Discovery topics and that seems to be working swimmingly so far. I hadn't thought about copy/pasting the Goals link, a bit manual but it's not a lot of overhead. Thanks!

Hi @Sascha welcome to Atlassian community.

Bridging the gap between your strategic company OKRs (tracked in Atlassian Goals) and your daily, tactical work managed on your Trello board! It makes perfect sense to want that visibility in one place.

Workarounds:

I think their is no direct connector available. My recommendation/ suggestions if you feel work: 

• Leverage Jira as an Intermediary: You're already pulling Jira tickets into Trello. If your Jira tickets or Epics represent measurable progress towards a Goal, you can display these relevant Jira Epics/Initiatives on your Trello board.
• Create a dedicated list on Trello for "Company OKRs" or "Strategic Goals." For each OKR, create a Trello card.
• Use the Jira Power-Up: Attach the relevant Jira Epic (which is tied to your Atlassian Goal) directly to the Trello card. While it won't show live OKR progress within Trello, clicking the Jira link on the Trello card will take you directly to the Jira Epic where you can see its progress against the Goal.

I found this "Jira Cloud for Trello Power-Up" that might be handy.

Hi! Thanks for the tips, I think I'll go with Victor's suggestion though as our Goals don't exactly tie into Jira Epics (not all do anyways, and for some it's more than one Epic) so the manual overhead wouldn't be ideal.
