Developers! Waste less time with new work suggestions in Jira Software [Early access]

[#1]

A sprint isn’t static. It’s not like you simply prioritize tasks and follow them. Things change. Code needs to be reviewed, or even reworked. And you, developer, are left to pick up the pieces. It’s as though you’re supposed to assemble a search party just to find what to work on next. That ends today with Work suggestions in Jira Software. Now you can keep work moving without having to look at multiple tools.

See work in progress that needs your attention as it moves through your tools

You just want to build features that your customers love. Is that too much too ask? We don’t think so. We are cutting friction out of your day-to-day experience so you and your team can spend more of your time solving problems. Today, we’re trimming down the feedback loops for work in progress with Work Suggestions in Jira Software.

Integrate your SCM, CI/CD, and security tools with Jira Software and make work previously isolated in those tools part of your daily planning routine. Planning what to work on every day should be a seamless sequence, just like a sports team going through the motions of a perfectly practiced play. Jira Software replaces disruptive messages, additional decision making, and context switching with swift coordination. This makes work move faster with greater predictability to keep you in flow longer.

Boost your developer experience

Before, the struggle was to coordinate reprioritized work in real-time to shorten feedback loops between team members. Work Suggestions helps this by highlighting obstacles to progress and suggesting the most effective action to take in order to eliminate bottlenecks, and accelerate the pace of the entire team's delivery.

As a result, teams see improved developer experience and enhanced team productivity. Here’s a look at what Work Suggestions surfaces:

• Pull requests that have you added as a reviewer.

• Pull requests with requested changes to work on.

• Failed deployments related to issues currently assigned to you.

• Failed builds related to issues currently assigned to you.

• Critical security vulnerabilities related to issues in your sprint.

Address PRs early to keep your team moving

No one wants to keep their team waiting. That’s why we address PRs as soon as possible. This usually means searching through issues or your SCM tool. Not only does this take time but you could miss something as you dig through data. Work Suggestions show you exactly which PRs are waiting for you so you can move work forward without all the research.

Did you see that build or deployment failed?

You may have different automations set up to alert you of a failed build. Maybe you rely on messages from teammates. Let Jira handle it. See failed deployments and builds that need review in the Work Suggestions view. It’s your shortcut to greater efficiency.

Shift security left without breaking everything

Security is essential to building quality software. But we know you use multiple security tools and finding the latest critical vulnerability can be a story point all by itself. Stop wasting time. Work Suggestions has you covered by bringing critical vulnerabilities associated with issues in your sprint to your attention. It doesn’t matter what tool it came from, Jira has it covered.
