After decades of managing software programs across different industries, I still found myself spending hours each week writing JQL to get my reporting ready. Every project management tool I have worked with is excellent at storing data and painful at visualizing it. Jira is the best of them. It is still painful. The more you start exploring, the more knowledge and skills one needs to adapt to get a valuable result out of it. And even when you got the data, you still had to turn it into something a stakeholder could read, the right chart, in the right format, without a tutorial. Different reports for different audiences with variety of charts, everyone needed a different view of the same data.
Should I export the data to excel create a pivot table and then generate the chart, or should I use the dashboard reports manually creating each types of charts and linking with the right table, or should I use another custom tool provided by a third party vendor, choices are many but integration efforts and future reliability would be a question and pain. Another daunting topic would be to know how to query using various kinds of query language JQL, SQL or mdx or so on.
To overcome all these problems, I turned to AI, offloading all heavy lifting onto AI and focused on letting it generate the charts or tables with the right query. This is what the AtlasMind tool does, give a question in plain English about your project and you get charts rendered with tables that can be easily filtered and used for your reports with just a click of a button.
