Integrate using models. Standardize what flows.
Models standardize the information exchanged by integrations into archetypes of business value. They express the organizational consensus of the data package that needs to flow, for each artifact type.
Models are defined upfront and in advance on Tasktop Hub to prevent ad-hoc, subjective or arbitrary data selection and field mapping.
While the full data set will remain in the source repository to support its users, any data that flows out of the repository en route to another destination will be aligned to the model.
Collections of projects are mapped to the model to eliminate the overhead of point-to-point mapping.

Model-based integration reduces setup time by 75% and maintenance overhead by 90%. How?
Models eliminate the need to map the fields and values of each project pair individually, which can take up to three hours per pair. At enterprise scale, we’re talking hundreds of hours.
With Tasktop, bulk project collections are mapped to a model. When down the line you need to add a project, modify a field mapping, or even switch out a tool, you do so through the collection and model—not individually.
Unlike templates (which merely provide a pre-populated shortcut for point-to-point mapping), models completely isolate relationships between your tools and can be reused in multiple integrations.
Tasktop Hub provides curated out-of-the-box models to help you get started quickly.

Switching tools? No sweat.
The DevOps toolchain is always changing and evolving, as organizations experiment and then adopt new best-of-breed tools.
Models minimize the impact of those changes on your integrations. Tools are mapped to the central model, not to each other. So even when you switch out a tool, half your setup is still intact. Simply add the new tool and map it to the model, and you’re done.

Metrics need to be based on clean, normalized, well-architected data.
Models serve to extract “messy” data from a large variety of teams, tools, products and workflows and clean it up to represent things you want to measure.
Aligning repository data to models in near real-time pre-optimizes it for all reporting purposes and reduces the effort to create those reports and derive real insight.
