# Ticket-Based Change Management

Ticket-based change management in Sprinto allows you to connect your organisation’s ticketing tools to track and verify all change requests automatically. By integrating supported systems, Sprinto collects change tickets as evidence, ensuring every modification follows your approved processes and meets compliance requirements.

***

### Supported Integrations

Sprinto supports the following ticketing systems for change management tracking:

<table><thead><tr><th width="225.3359375">Ticketing System</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Asana</strong></td><td>Manage change requests using Asana projects.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>ClickUp</strong></td><td>Use ClickUp folders and lists to log and monitor change requests.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Hive</strong></td><td>Capture actions and track progress within Hive projects.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Jira Service Management</strong></td><td>Use Jira Service projects to record and close change issues.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Jira Software</strong></td><td>Track change-related tasks within Jira Software projects.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Linear</strong></td><td>Manage change stories within Linear projects.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Shortcut</strong></td><td>Track stories across Shortcut projects for change evidence.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Teamwork</strong></td><td>Capture change tasks and completions within Teamwork.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Trello</strong></td><td>Track change cards and completions using Trello boards.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Wrike</strong></td><td>Monitor change-related tasks through Wrike projects.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Azure DevOps</strong></td><td>Track change requests and approvals using Azure DevOps projects and repositories.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Freshservice</strong></td><td>Track change requests and approvals using Freshservice change management.</td></tr></tbody></table>

***

### How It Works

Each integration connects Sprinto to your existing ticketing workflow. Once configured:

* Sprinto fetches tickets from the specified project or board.
* The system identifies open and closed change tickets based on your defined statuses.
* Closed or completed tickets are automatically used as change management evidence.

### Best Practices

* Create a **dedicated project or board** in your chosen tool exclusively for change management.
* **Ensure segregation of duties** — the ticket creator and assignee should be different.
* Clearly define and maintain **status workflows** for open and closed states.
* Periodically review project mappings in Sprinto to ensure accurate tracking.
