Welcome to the future of project management! With the introduction of Atlassian Intelligence for Jira, teams can now take advantage of powerful AI-driven features designed to streamline workflows, boost productivity, and simplify collaboration. Released in May 2024, Atlassian Intelligence integrates seamlessly into Jira Cloud Premium and Enterprise plans, offering innovative tools for generating content, automating tasks, and creating work breakdown structures.
In this article, we’ll explore some of these cutting-edge features and how they can revolutionize your Jira experience.
Key Features of Atlassian Intelligence for Jira
1. Generate and Transform Content
One of the standout features of Atlassian Intelligence is its ability to create and refine content effortlessly. This tool can draft detailed issue descriptions and comments based on minimal input, saving time and ensuring consistency.
- How It Works:
Create an Epic, then use the AI-powered writing assistant to generate a description. Simply input the goal or topic—for example, “Weather Forecast Display”—and the AI will provide an organized, structured description, including:- Objectives
- Context
- Scope
- Success criteria
- Risks and dependencies
- Enhance Descriptions:
Use the “Improve Issue” feature to further refine descriptions. AI can reorganize information, add missing details, and format it to match your team’s needs.
2. Comment Summarization and Refinement
Are you tired of reading many comments and updates and trying to understand them? Long comment threads can quickly become overwhelming. Atlassian Intelligence offers a comment summarization tool to help users grasp key points without reading every detail.
- Features:
- Summarize long comment threads into concise notes.
- Improve comment clarity with options to fix grammar, adjust tone, and even translate into different languages.
This feature is particularly helpful for support teams or developers navigating complex discussions.
3. Create Work Breakdown Structures
Breaking down high-level tasks into actionable items has never been easier. AI can suggest child issues for Epics or Stories, helping teams generate detailed task lists in seconds.
- How to Use:
Use the “Suggest Child Issues” option under the “Improve Issue” button. While the AI occasionally requires specific prompts for user story formatting, it’s a great starting point for task organization. - Pro Tip:
For precise results, provide a detailed prompt specifying the desired format for child issues.
4. AI-Enhanced Search
Jira’s AI search functionality lets users find issues using natural language prompts. For instance, you can ask, “What issues are assigned to me but haven’t started yet?” and quickly retrieve results.
- Challenges:
While useful, the AI search can sometimes be slower than Jira Query Language (JQL) for complex queries. For advanced users, combining both methods may yield the best results.
5. Automation Assistance
Setting up automations is simpler than ever with AI guidance. By providing a natural language prompt, you can create automation rules in Jira with ease.
- Example:
Prompt AI to assign newly created bugs to a QA team lead. The tool will generate a basic automation rule that you can refine further, saving valuable setup time.
