You can get real value from Craft without integrating anything.
This article is here to give you a quick mental model of what’s possible, so you know what to explore later - not what to set up now.
Follow these steps:
You don’t need integrations to get started
Craft works as a planning and alignment layer on top of your existing tools.
That means:
You can create a backlog
Build a roadmap
Plan work and priorities
Without connecting any external systems.
Most teams only add integrations once they:
Have real work in Craft
Want live updates from delivery or feedback tools
Are ready to scale their planning workflows
For now, it’s enough to know that integrations exist.
Is it possible to integrate?
Yes.
Craft integrates with many of the tools product teams already use - without replacing them.
Integrations allow Craft to:
Stay in sync with delivery tools
Capture feedback from multiple sources
Keep planning and execution connected
Ownership of work always remains in the source system.
What kinds of integrations are available?
At a high level, Craft supports four types of integrations:
🛠️ Delivery & development tools
Connect tools like Jira or Azure DevOps to:
Sync status and progress
Reflect delivery updates in roadmaps and plans
💬 Feedback & idea sources
Capture ideas and feedback from:
Support tools
Forms
Product feedback channels
All feedback can be reviewed and prioritized in one place.
🎨 Collaboration & design tools
Link tools like Figma or documentation platforms to:
Add context to planning items
Keep discussions and assets connected
🔐 Identity & access
Use SSO and identity providers to:
Manage access
Support enterprise security needs
💡 Tip: You don’t need to choose any of these now.
When should you think about integrations?
A good rule of thumb is to connect your delivery tool early - and keep everything else optional.
Getting Started: You don’t need integrations to explore Craft, but connecting your delivery tool early (like Jira or Azure DevOps) helps Craft feel immediately useful by keeping plans and execution in sync.
After initial setup: If you haven’t already, connect your delivery tool so status, progress, and updates flow automatically into your backlog and roadmap.
As planning matures: Add feedback sources and automation to reduce manual work and bring ideas into Craft.
Enterprise setup: Configure SSO and advanced integrations to support scale, security, and governance.
