I'd like to share a new tool that could provide some assistance when dealing with complex Jira tickets: Jira Simplify.
The motivation behind Jira Simplify, a Chrome browser extension, was born from my personal encounters with lengthy and sometimes complicated Jira tickets. Using OpenAI's GPT, Jira Simplify processes the content of a Jira ticket, sends it to OpenAI, and promptly returns a quick summary. The output includes instructions for developers and testers on the next steps required.
However, I've kept in mind that not all teams have the same needs. With that, Jira Simplify has been designed to be flexible. The GPT prompt used for generating the summary and instructions is fully customizable. You can find it in js/app/OpenAIManager.js. While it's currently set to output a summary and instructions for developers and testers, you can adjust it to meet your team's specific needs, such as evaluating ticket quality or generating other relevant instructions depending on your perspective.
This is just the first version of Jira Simplify. In future updates, I plan to introduce a bunch more features to process and also interact with Jira tickets.
To start using Jira Simplify, download or clone the repository, load the unpacked extension in your Chrome browser, and enter your OpenAI API key when prompted. Then, navigate to a Jira ticket and allow Jira Simplify to save you some time on those more messy tickets.
Anyone have any ideas for features? This is actually my first experience with developing a browser extension, and I'm excited with what I've learned so far.
Never stop learning :)
