Jira is powerful out of the box, but it really shines when you extend it.
In this episode of The Jira Life, we break down the three primary ways to extend Jira in 2025:
Automation Rules (no-code/low-code)
Forge Apps (custom development)
Rovo (Atlassian’s new AI assistant)We explore:
When should you stick with native automation?
What problems call for custom Forge apps?
Where does Rovo fit into the picture and can it actually replace scripts or apps?
Best practices, pros & cons, and how to future-proof your approach
If you’re a Jira admin, developer, or just trying to figure out how far you can take Jira, this episode is for you.
