Ok, here is what you need to do....
1. Start by checking your product compatibility. You can check if the version of LMi/LMe you have are compatible with the Rocket Jira Plug-in using the Rocket Lifecycle Manager Products and Plug-in Compatibility chart at https://docs.rocketsoftware.com. If it is not, contact us to discuss upgrading options.
2. Check with your internal Systems Administration team who are responsible for your JIRA Server and ensure you can install Plug-ins on your JIRA server instance.
3. Install the Rocket Ops Portal. This is a prerequisite requirement for the JIRA Plug-in. Check compatibility with your other products (LMi/LMe) using the compatibility chart mentioned above. Download the Ops Portal installation files and documentation from your Rocket Customer Portal account. Configure the connection to LMi/LMe. Additional information on the Rocket Ops Portal can be found here.
4. Install the Rocket JIRA plug-in onto your JIRA Server Instance using the Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Manager Integration for Jira Administrator Guide. Ensure to read the 'Product Compatibility' section prior to installation.
5. Once the Plug-in is installed, use the Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Manager Integration for Jira Administrator Guide to:
- Configure the Ops Portal Connection

- Configure Automatic Task Promotion if required.
- Configure Users
6. Familiarise yourself and team members with the new JIRA Plug-in features using the Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Manager Integration for Jira User Guide.
