Frequently Asked Questions: Standupify Jira Integration and JQL
This section addresses common questions regarding Standupify's powerful Jira integration, focusing on how you can customize daily standup questions and leverage Jira Query Language (JQL) to automate task suggestions for your team.
Standupify is designed to streamline your daily check-ins by directly connecting them to your project management in Jira, ensuring efficiency and accuracy in reporting.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change the default standup questions?
You can customize default standup questions by navigating to the 'Questions' tab within your specific 'Daily Report' configuration. Here, you can edit the text of the questions and define associated Jira Query Language (JQL) criteria.
How can I integrate Jira tasks into my daily standups?
After integrating Standupify with Jira and authorizing access, you can define Jira Query Language (JQL) statements for each standup question. Standupify will then automatically fetch relevant tasks based on your queries and present them to team members in Google Chat.
What kind of Jira tasks will Standupify suggest for team members?
Standupify suggests tasks based on the JQL queries you configure. For example, for 'What did you do yesterday?', you might set a query to only pull tasks assigned to the current user that have a 'Resolved' status. For 'What will you do today?', you could pull 'To Do' or 'In Progress' tasks.
How do I write a JQL query for my standup questions?
JQL (Jira Query Language) queries are powerful filters. A basic example is assignee = currentUser() AND status = Resolved. You can combine various fields like project, status, assignee, resolution, updated, and more using operators like =, !=, IN, NOT IN, AND, OR. Refer to Jira's official JQL documentation for comprehensive guidance.
How can I make sure team members only report on resolved tasks for 'yesterday'?
To ensure team members report on resolved tasks for 'yesterday', configure the JQL for the 'What did you do yesterday?' question to specifically include status = Resolved in your query. You would typically combine this with assignee = currentUser() to show tasks relevant to the individual.
What is the benefit of linking Jira tasks to standups?
Linking Jira tasks to standups offers several benefits: it automates task suggestions, significantly reduces manual input for team members, ensures that reported updates are directly tied to actual project progress in Jira, and provides a 'psychological productivity boost' by highlighting completed work.
Who can configure these standup question settings in Standupify?
The configuration of daily standup questions and Jira JQL queries is typically handled by Team Leads, Scrum Masters, Project Managers, or Workspace Administrators who manage their team's daily reports within Standupify.
Can I preview the tasks a JQL query will pull from Jira before saving?
Yes, after Standupify is integrated and authorized with Jira, the system allows you to configure JQL and often provides a visual indication or a preview feature to show what kind of tasks your specific JQL query will retrieve from Jira and send to the Google Chat bot.
