JIRA integration to Microsoft Teams

Atlassian today announced support for integrating JIRA issues to Microsoft Teams. This now allows either the cloud hosted JIRA or your own on premise JIRA to exchange data to Teams.  This is helpful because the JIRA interface can be 'click-heavy' and intimidating to non-technical users. Teams' collaboration layer on top of JIRA is more user friendly and could encourage people to work or update their JIRA tickets.
