Setup your GitHub integration in Avion
Step through the straightforward setup process by choosing your project board type and mapping your states.
GitHub is more than a repository management platform, due to its introduction of Projects. Tie your GitHub project to an Avion user story map and take advantage of a more user-centric backlog refinement process.
Sync milestones and issues
User stories are mapped to issues with project cards and Avion's releases map beautifully to GitHub milestones, so you can plan your roadmap in Avion, but execute and keep track of them as milestones and issues on your project board.
Sync with repo and organisation project boards
Your user story map can be linked to both repository and organisation project boards in GitHub. This allows you the flexibility to map things at a project-level or at an organisational-level.
Check out the Avion docs for more information on
the syncing options
Automatic two-way syncing, always
Whenever a release or user story is pushed from Avion to GitHub, all data will be kept in sync whichever tool is used to update it. So you can update your titles, descriptions, story sizes or releases, safely in the knowledge that both tools are up-to-date.
GitHub Projects or ZenHub
Our underlying GitHub issues integration works with both GitHub Projects or ZenHub. So whichever tool your team prefers to use to track your development progress and releases can now be driven from your story map in Avion.
Plan in Avion. Execute in GitHub.
Don’t confuse your dev team by trying to plan upcoming releases where day-to-day work is tracked. With Avion, you can freely plan your product releases, safe in the knowledge that you aren’t cluttering your GitHub project board. This means you can keep your dev team focussed on what needs to happen right now whilst retaining your longer-term product roadmap in Avion.
How does it work?
Import existing data from GitHub
Import all your project board’s issues and milestones into Avion, so you can start linking them up with your user stories and releases. These issues will be immediately two-way synced.
Push new stories and releases
Define and prioritise new releases within Avion and then push them to GitHub, where your dev team can start picking up the work.
Track and monitor in either tool
Any card that is synced will remain up-to-date in either tool, so you can monitor your dev team’s GitHub updates right from your Avion user story map.
Evolve your processes
Use our GitHub configuration options to tweak and update how your states are mapped to your Avion workflow.
