Importing Stories into Planning Poker®
Step 1: Export .XML File from Jira
In Jira Server/Data Center you can go to the top navigator bar and choose Issues → Search for issues.
In Jira Cloud, the top navigation bar has this under Filters → Advanced issues search.
Once you have entered the search criteria and returned the issues you want, on the upper right-hand side, select “Export XML” and choose XML in the dropdown.
This will display the XML content in a new browser window; to save it, right-click anywhere inside the XML page and select ‘Save As…’ to download the file. You’re ready to move the stories into PlanningPoker.com.
[Note that XML files exported by Jira will occasionally have errors that prevent importing into PlanningPoker® – if this occurs, you can try exporting to CSV instead, then edit the CSV file in Excel or another spreadsheet to manipulate the columns until they match the sample CSV exactly]
Step 2: Import XML into Planning Poker®
Click the Import Stories tab on the Create Game page. Choose your new XML file to import.
Once the file is chosen, click Get Stories.
Congratulations! You’ve imported your Jira stories. You can reorder, edit and delete them in this view.
You’ll be able to go into the Info tab during a game to edit these fields as well.
