SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Analyze Azure DevOps/Jira user stories to generate a structured estimation — understanding, implementation plan, recommended hours/SP, AEM pages affected, and open questions. Posts results as an ADO/Jira comment. Batch mode: space-separated IDs for parallel estimation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated estimation: Produce a structured estimate including understanding, implementation plan, recommended hours (SP), affected components, and open questions.
  • Batch mode support: Accept multiple IDs (space-separated) and run estimates in parallel, posting results as individual comments.
  • Config-driven context: Reads provider configuration to determine ADO or Jira context and applies consistent estimation heuristics.

Quick Start

Provide an AI-generated estimation for the specified work item IDs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate AI-driven estimates for Azure DevOps or Jira user stories?

AI-driven estimates for Azure DevOps or Jira user stories are generated by analyzing work item IDs to produce a structured plan with implementation steps, recommended hours, and open questions, then posting the results directly as a comment.

Can I estimate multiple Jira or Azure DevOps work items at the same time?

Yes, batch mode supports estimating multiple Jira or Azure DevOps work items simultaneously by accepting space-separated IDs, spawning parallel sub-agents for each ID, and posting individual comments for every result.

What is included in an automated agile estimation plan for a user story?

An automated agile estimation plan includes a structured breakdown of the story understanding, implementation steps, recommended hours or story points, affected components, and open questions to guide development.

Does this estimation approach work with both Azure DevOps and Jira configurations?

Yes, the estimation approach works with both Azure DevOps and Jira by reading provider configuration and project keys to apply consistent estimation heuristics across the specific platform context.

How are estimation results shared with the agile project team?

Estimation results are shared with the agile project team by posting the structured breakdown directly as a standard comment signature on the corresponding Azure DevOps or Jira work item.

What do I need to provide to start an automated user story estimation?

To start an automated user story estimation, you need to provide the specific space-separated work item IDs from your configured Azure DevOps or Jira project for the AI to analyze.
