Introduction to Armada
Armada turns Jira into a command center for large-scale initiatives. Whether you’re rolling out security patches, coordinating migrations, or managing compliance tasks across 50+ teams, Armada provides the visibility and automation you need.
The Problem
Coordinating work across many teams in Jira is painful:
- Manual fan-out: Copy-pasting issues to 50+ projects
- Zero visibility: No roll-up view of progress across teams
- Chasing updates: Endless Slack pings asking “Is this done?”
- Governance gaps: No approval process for large-scale changes
The Solution
Armada solves the “fan-out” problem with:
- One-click campaign launch: Create linked issues across your fleet
- Live status dashboard: Real-time visibility into all child issues
- Auto-nudge: Automated reminders for stale issues
- Governance controls: Approval workflows for large campaigns
Key Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Campaign | A parent issue with multiple linked child issues across teams |
| Fleet | Your configured list of teams and their Jira projects |
| Launch | The process of creating child issues from a parent |
| Strategy | How child issues relate to the parent (linked vs. child) |
How It Works
- Define your Fleet: Add teams and their Jira projects
- Create a parent issue: Write your initiative as an Epic or Story
- Launch the campaign: Select target teams and click Launch
- Track progress: Monitor status in the issue panel
- Auto-nudge: Armada reminds teams about stale issues
