Umano works with the tools you use everyday in order to capture your team’s activities across the whole development process and model their performance.

The types of tools currently supported by Umano include:

  • Communication tools (like Slack and Mattermost)

  • Source code management tools (like Bitbucket)

  • Project managements tools (like Confluence and JIRA)

Umano obtains data from these tools on a daily basis, producing scores across a range of measures that provide insight into your team’s agility and the health of their practices.

In this section, you’ll learn about the tools supported by Umano and how to connect your data sources to Umano


Before you begin

Umano will need read-only access to your cloud delivery tools so you can select your project’s source data from within these tools that will contribute to your team’s project space. We ask for the minimum privileges needed to perform the necessary behavioural analysis and insight generation for your team’s project space.

You can find out more about how Umano respects and handles your data by reading our Data Privacy and Security pages.

Connecting more tools means more insights for your team’s project space

Issue tracking tools are required to model your team's design and build attributes and supporting agile practices. Issue tracking tools also contribute to modelling your team's engagement practices.

Source control tools are required to model your team's review practices, and also contribute to modelling your team's engagement practices.

Communication in chat and wiki tools, along with issue tracker and source control systems are required to model your team's engagement attributes and supporting agile practices.

A recap on requirements

Umano currently supports teams working with the cloud versions of JIRA, Confluence, Bitbucket, Slack and Mattermost.

To create your team’s project space on Umano, it is a requirement that your team uses Jira Scrum or Simple Boards. We use this as the foundation to construct the team’s project data and contributors for your project space.

Teams using these nominated Jira Boards and who apply the Kanban method can also create your team’s project space on Umano. Once you’ve connected your boards, we’ll be in touch to ask what iterations you’d like us to preset for you, be it that you work in a weekly, fortnightly or monthly cadence. This feature is soon to be automated.

We are working fast to support teams on other delivery tools, such as Asana, Azure DevOps, Github and Gitlab. You can let us know via Chat if you’d like to be notified when your preferred tools are supported by Umano.

You're ready to go!
