10th April 2024, ScopeMaster Ltd, UK announces one-click backlog analysis for software teams using Jira in a major update to the Story Analyser App for Jira
Now, with a single click, software backlogs in Jira Software can now be analysed, quality-checked and sized, saving teams weeks in effort and improved early analysis.
The Story Analyser uses AI to provide Jira Software teams with advanced analysis and insight into individual user stories and entire software backlogs effortlessly within Jira. The Story Analyser is built on the same, award-winning, software requirements analysis engine that is used by the ScopeMaster Saas and ScopeMaster Server. The Story Analyser App for Jira Software can be installed in minutes from the Atlassian Marketplace.
New with this release are two major leaps forward in the practical use of AI to help software teams become more productive. Firstly, an entire backlog can be analysed with the click of a single button. Clicking this button will trigger a series of 500-1000 checks on every user story and gives each story a quality grade and functional size estimate. For a typical backlog of 100 user stories, the Story Analyser will perform 50,000 – 100,000 analysis steps in just a few minutes, to reveal insight hitherto unavailable in Jira.
Also announced today within this release is the Auto-generated Use Case Model diagram. This innovation helps teams visualise the meaning of a backlog and align development work to actual user needs more effectively, and faster.
The Benefits
StoryAnalyser will save your teams’ time and reduce waste by:
- Instant insight into a backlog for improved thinking and planning.
- Reduced time wasted discussing ambiguous user stories
- Reduced time wasted discussing story points and t-shirt sizing
Total: expect to save at least 10% of a teams time by reducing these areas of waste.
