# Integrate external tools from Digital Product Release Workspace

Integrate tools for orchestration, planning, coding, artifact, software quality, and security from the Digital Product Release Workspace for end-to-end change traceability and automation.

## Before you begin

This integration with external tools is accessible as part of the DevOps Change Velocity. For more information, see [DevOps Change Velocity integrations](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-service-management/devops-change-velocity/dev-ops-overview.md) and [Integrating DevOps Change Velocity with third party tools](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-service-management/devops-change-velocity/integrating-devops-change-with-third-party-tools.md).

Role required: sn\_dpr\_model.release\_admin

## About this task

The data coming from the integrated external tools provide you with insights into the breakdown of product enhancementsinto epics and their stories. This data also enables you to create and automate policies and determine whether the release meets the release exit criteria. For more information, see [View and manage data from external tools](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-service-management/digital-product-release/dpr-manage-product-ext-tool.md).

You can also track the software quality of your releases on the [Release Quality dashboard](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-service-management/digital-product-release/dpr-release-quality-dashboard.md) that uses this data to show up on different widgets.
