Frequently Asked Questions About Product Management Platform
How does the Shorter Loop to Azure DevOps integration work?
The integration allows you to sync validated product ideas from Shorter Loop directly into Azure DevOps and vice versa as work items (user stories, features, or epics). Once connected, you can map fields, sync specs with full context, and track status updates bidirectionally.
Will the integration affect my existing Azure DevOps workflow?
No. The integration enhances your workflow without disrupting it. Your team can continue using their existing Azure boards, sprints, and processes.
Will the Jira integration affect my existing workflows?
Not at all. Engineers continue using Azure DevOps normally. Shorter Loop listens for updates and pulls them into the backlog without changing your board setup.
How secure is the Azure DevOps integration?
All communication uses secure tokens and encrypted connections. Shorter Loop does not access anything beyond the Work Items and fields you explicitly authorize.
