3. Describe how to automate linking code changes to tasks (e.g., commit messages, branch naming).
4. Provide best practices for improving collaboration through this integration.
5. Suggest ways to measure the impact of the integration on the development workflow.

Output format Provide a structured guide with sections: 'Integration Steps', 'Automation Techniques', 'Collaboration Best Practices', and 'Impact Measurement'. Use numbered steps and examples where helpful.

Guardrails

• Do not assume specific features of the tools; ask if not provided.
• Flag any potential challenges or limitations of the integration.
• Stay focused on integration; avoid unrelated project management advice.
