GG VS Q2 2026 - Jira, GitHub, and FDA: how software teams move faster

Most SaMD teams run two parallel worlds: engineering builds in Jira and GitHub, while compliance gets handled in a separate system, later, or manually. Engineers lose flow state context-switching between tools. QA spends time chasing, translating, and cleaning up. It compounds with every release cycle. This session makes a direct argument: software teams move faster when compliance lives inside the dev stack, not alongside it. "Alongside" means a quality system sitting next to dev tools that someone has to manually bridge. "Inside" means compliance happens where engineers already work, automatically. The session includes a walkthrough of a real workflow: a software change flowing from a Jira ticket through design controls, risk linkage, and test evidence to a release record, with traceability maintained at every step and no manual sync required.
