If you use Pivotal Tracker to track feature development, you’ll find it handy to integrate your Pivotal instance with Productboard. Your engineering team can continue managing their development pipeline in Pivotal while product managers enjoy the flexibility of Productboard for understanding user needs, prioritizing what to build next, and rallying everyone around the roadmap.
Summary of benefits
- Productboard's Pivotal Tracker integration allows you to push your Productboard features and subfeatures into Pivotal Tracker and get status changes back.
- Map Productboard feature to Pivotal Tracker epics and Productboard subfeatures to Pivotal Tracker stories.
- Use auto-generated links to quickly navigate from a Pivotal Tracker issue to a Productboard feature (or vice versa).

3. Copy the API token to your clipboard.
Step II. Set up Pivotal Tracker integration
1. In Productboard, in the upper right, click profile > Integrations
2. Click Add new Pivotal Tracker integration.
3. Paste in the API Token.

Entity mappings
At the time of push you will be prompt to decided if you want to push your feature as Epic or Story. If you choose feature to be mapped to Pivotal Tracker Epics, the underlying Productboard subfeatures can be mapped to Pivotal Tracker Stories.
Deleting the integration
You can always deactivate the integration or simply delete the special Pivotal Tracker task column.
Current limitations
It's not yet possible to import stories/epics from Pivotal Tracker into Productboard.
