This is the primary question to consider before going any further. Tracking and managing the progress of projects is essential, and luckily for project managers, several useful software solutions exist to help simplify the process. Azure DevOps by Microsoft and Atlassian’s Jira are considered two of the most popular software development management tools used by companies worldwide. However, transferring or synchronizing data between the two tools becomes a critical issue. The transition from using one management tool to another is a costly and time-consuming affair. Kovair QuickSync is one such tool that will help you solve your migration and or synchronization problems.
