Reports on a Copilot extension for Jira that enhances efficiency in agile project management, suggesting significant implications for team workflows.
Agile project management relies on responsive tools that support automation, intelligent assistance, and data-driven decision-making. While Jira is widely adopted in agile environments, it lacks advanced features for proactive support, workflow automation, and business intelligence. This paper presents the design and evaluation of a Copilot extension for Jira that leverages Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Automate, and Power BI. The solution enables conversational interaction within Microsoft Teams, automates task workflows, and delivers real-time analytics through dynamic dashboards. Developed using the Scrum framework across iterative sprints and evaluated with a quasi-experimental pre/post design in two Jira projects, the extension improves task automation, project visibility, and user interaction. Contributions include streamlined ticket handling, enhanced decision-making with KPIs, and a user-centric conversational interface. Results indicate significant gains in efficiency and reporting latency, illustrating how AI + BI + automation can augment Jira for agile teams.
