SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The skill eliminates fragmented, manual release tracking by analyzing OCPEDGE release-cycle progress across Jira hierarchy (Features, Initiatives, Epics, and Tasks/Spikes) and turning it into a prioritized, action-ready health report.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Release-cycle health analysis: Traverses Jira Features/Initiatives → Epics → Stories/Tasks/Bugs to compute schedule, staffing, and refinement health signals.
  • Risk assessment and refinement gap detection: Identifies missing ownership/QA contact/SME, missing acceptance criteria, missing sizing, blocked work indicators, and capacity risk using team roster and sprint policy inputs.
  • Forecasting and recommended actions: Projects sprint outcomes through branch cut and produces an owner-assigned action plan to address the highest-severity risks.

Quick Start

Use /release-health to run an interactive analysis for the next branch cut by providing the release version and sprint range when prompted.

Frequently Asked Questions about release-health

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I assess release health and de-risk a branch cut using Jira data?

Assess release health by traversing Jira Features, Initiatives, Epics, and Tasks to compute schedule, staffing, and refinement health signals. This produces an action-ready health report with prioritized remediation actions to de-risk your branch cut.

What sprint forecasting and risk metrics can I extract from Jira Epics and Tasks?

Sprint forecasting and risk metrics include schedule slippage, missing ownership or QA contact, missing acceptance criteria, missing sizing, blocked work indicators, and capacity risk evaluated against team roster and sprint policy inputs.

How do I generate a prioritized remediation action plan for blocked or unrefined Jira work?

Generate a prioritized remediation action plan by identifying highest-severity risks across staffing, refinement, and capacity dimensions, then projecting sprint outcomes through branch cut to assign specific owners to each required action.

Does release health analysis work with OpenShift Edge planning scenarios and inline Jira data?

Release health analysis applies directly to OpenShift Edge planning scenarios, requiring inline Jira data fetching via MCP tools and deterministic transformation scripts to JSON before running the final risk and reporting analysis pass.

Why should I avoid embedding raw Jira payloads in context during release risk assessment?

Avoiding raw Jira payloads in context during release risk assessment ensures the final analysis pass relies on deterministic JSON transformations, preventing context bloat and maintaining accurate schedule, staffing, and refinement health signal computation.

What release health information do I need to provide to analyze sprint outcomes for an upcoming branch cut?

To analyze sprint outcomes for a branch cut, provide the specific release version and the target sprint range when prompted, allowing the skill to traverse the relevant Jira hierarchy and compute actionable health signals.
