We've been using MS Project to manage project details. We have been asked to import our project tasks into JIRA so we can better collaborate with our project teams.
The idea is that we would create an enterprise community that would bring more visibility to our projects. What are your thoughts?
We feel like it will take more time to include JIRA. Do you think it could be worth spending that time?
We believe this will change our PMO Charter. Should we pilot the new process before updating the charter? Which metrics can you suggest to measure our success for the pilot? Saving Changes...

Based on the goal you stated, integrating with SharePoint would be a better solution. JIRA is an issue tracking and scrum/kanban tool. To integrate with MS Project, it will take redundant efforts with disjointed results. If your goals are centralizing and synchronizing MS Project plans with a community type platform, go with SharePoint. Tasks can be updated in either project or SharePoint, with discussion boards and document storage. With additional add-ons on SharePoint (Brightwork or Bamboo Project Central), you can have a portfolio view as well Saving Changes...
