🗣️ Compass now speaks JQL

Your Jira issues contain valuable signals about your software components' health - from security vulnerabilities to technical debt. Now you can track these insights directly in Compass with JQL metrics and use them to build expressive scorecards. Monitor SLA breaches, track release readiness, assess security status, and more. Getting started is simple:

1. 💻 Visit the Health UI and click Create Metric

2. 🎚️ Toggle "This is a JQL metric"

3. 🔡 Enter your JQL query

4. ✅ Add it to your scorecards and create your metric

Discover more use cases and learn how.

👥 Keep teams in sync, automatically

Customers of Atlassian Guard, our cloud platform’s security add-on, can now use Managed Teams with Compass Premium.
