Aha! Develop | Aha! Roadmaps connection overview

Let's start at a high level. When you connect Aha! Develop with Aha! Roadmaps, you combine the two products into one Aha! account. Aha! Develop and Aha! Roadmaps users have their own places to work — teams in Aha! Develop, workspaces in Aha! Roadmaps — but they can pull from the same backlog and share the same work items for full transparency. Unlike most integrations with third-party tools, this happens automatically, with no need to link records together of map fields to one another.

Here are the high-level takeaways for the connection:

• User permissions: Users in your account can now view or edit records in both products — if you choose to give them those user permissions.

• Shared records: Aha! Roadmaps and Aha! Develop share records. When your product and development teams are working on a feature, it is the same feature, not a copy.

• Unique workflows: Aha! Roadmaps and Aha! Develop have their own statuses on any shared record, because product and development teams have unique workflows.

• Unified backlog: Aha! Develop team members can pull work from Aha! Roadmaps' releases and parking lots, while Aha! Roadmaps users can assign work to an Aha! Develop team. They can also go a step further and send records to the bottom of the Prioritized backlog, the workflow board, or any sprint that has not yet started. They can then show the record location and prioritized backlog rank on a customized record card.

• Cross-product collaboration: Users in either product can assign to-dos and other records to users in the other.

• Fully customizable: Almost all customizations (custom fields, custom layouts, etc.) can be shared between the products

• Extend everything: You can create Aha! Develop extensions that modify Aha! Roadmaps data as well.

Extensions are disabled by default for existing Aha! Roadmaps accounts. Extensions can be powerful additions, but they can also affect both Aha! Develop and Aha! Roadmap users. Please consider the security implications before allowing any extensions to be installed.
