## Overview

Devin can help you manage and organize issue backlogs across platforms like GitHub, Jira, and Linear, automating the tedious parts of backlog maintenance while ensuring your team focuses on the most important work.

## Common Backlog Management Scenarios

    <iframe width="840" height="473" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jspBBw_SP9o" title="GitHub Issues Devin Integration" className="max-w-full" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen />

    Tag Devin on a GitHub issue to kick off a new Devin session.

    ### How to setup

    1. Push [devin-on-label.yml](https://github.com/ankehao-demo/COBOL-Demo/blob/main/.github/workflows/devin-on-label.yml) to any GitHub repo under a `.github/workflows` folder
    2. Create a GitHub Issue label called **`devin`**
    3. Add the Devin API key from your Devin org as a GitHub Repository secret called `DEVIN_API_KEY`

    ### How it works

    1. Add a **`devin`** label to an issue     <img src="https://mintcdn.com/cognitionai-enterprise/beY8gqLhVp54tYkU/images/use-cases/integrations/clear-engineering-backlogs/1-github-label.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=beY8gqLhVp54tYkU&q=85&s=29a8fbde14a69f15413687c774322d47" alt="Add devin label to issue" width="2184" height="1100" data-path="images/use-cases/integrations/clear-engineering-backlogs/1-github-label.png" />
    2. GitHub Actions workflow kicks off and an automated comment is created under the issue with a link to the new Devin session
    3. Devin session is automatically kicked off

    ### Jira and Linear Integrations

    Devin integrates directly with both Jira and Linear to help you manage your issue backlog. You can assign tickets to Devin on both platforms and have them automatically turned into PRs.

    For detailed setup instructions and configuration options, see the [Jira Integration Guide](/integrations/jira) and [Linear Integration Guide](/integrations/linear).
