Federal IT programs are under constant scrutiny—not just for outcomes, but for how those outcomes are achieved. Every task, approval, and deployment must follow a repeatable, traceable path that aligns with frameworks like FedRAMP, FISMA, and NIST.
Achieving this level of accountability requires more than individual tools. It takes a connected system and a trusted implementation partner.
That’s where Jira, Bitbucket, and Clovity come together.
The Need for Connected, Policy-Driven Workflows
Most government teams already use some form of ticketing and version control. But without integration, these tools operate in silos:
- Approvals in Jira don’t connect to actual code deployments
- Audit trails require manual effort to assemble
- Developers push changes without policy checks
- Reports reflect projects, but not compliance posture
This separation makes it difficult for CIOs and security leads to know if the work being done truly meets the rules that govern it.
Bitbucket and Jira: Purpose-Built for Traceability
Together, Jira and Bitbucket offer a system where:
- Every code change links back to an approved work item
- Deployment conditions are enforced automatically
- Teams document, review, and approve in one ecosystem
- Dashboards reflect both project progress and policy compliance
Examples in Action:
- Jira status transitions require specific fields, attachments, or sign-offs before proceeding
- Bitbucket merge checks prevent unreviewed or unlinked code from reaching production
- Smart Commits in Bitbucket update Jira issues in real time, closing the loop between plan and execution
