Exporting Jira data to Google Sheets allows you to manage and analyze project data with more flexibility. In this guide, you'll learn how to sync Jira data with Google Sheets using Superjoin, making project management easier and more efficient.

We'll also cover using CSV exports and Zapier for importing Jira data. While Jira offers native reporting options, they often lack the customization teams need. Google Sheets provides better data management, custom reporting, efficient collaboration, and easier data manipulation.
