Jira Automation Workflows
Automate Jira project management workflows, sprint planning, issue tracking, and reporting
You spend Monday mornings manually moving tickets between sprints, updating statuses, and copying summaries into Slack. Jira has automation rules but setting them up feels like programming in a GUI from 2008. Your project management tool shouldn't need its own project manager.
Who it's for: scrum masters tired of manual Jira housekeeping, engineering managers generating sprint reports by hand, project managers automating ticket workflows, teams whose Jira boards are perpetually out of date, anyone who spends more time updating Jira than doing actual work
Example
"Automate our sprint workflows in Jira" → Automation rules for: auto-assign tickets on sprint start, move tickets to 'In Review' when PR is opened, post daily standup summary to Slack, auto-close stale tickets after 30 days, and generate sprint velocity reports
