# Jira integrations **(FREE)**
If your organization uses [Jira](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira) issues,
you can [migrate](../../../user/project/import/jira.md) your issues from Jira and work
exclusively in GitLab.
However, if you'd like to continue to use Jira, you can integrate it with GitLab.
There are two ways to use GitLab with Jira:
- [Jira integration](jira.md). Connect a GitLab project
to a Jira instance. The Jira instance can be hosted by you or in [Atlassian cloud](https://www.atlassian.com/cloud).
- [Jira Development panel integration](../../../integration/jira_development_panel.md).
Connect all GitLab projects under a group or personal namespace.
The integration you choose depends on the capabilities you require.
You can also install both at the same time.
