The plan was simple
Take the specs we'd written, turn them into Jira epics, stories and subtasks, and start sprinting.

HandyFEM has 8 epics, 37 stories and ~160 subtasks. Creating that manually would take a full day and be error-prone. More importantly: the specs were already written in a structured format. Translating structured data into Jira issues is exactly the kind of repetitive task that should be automated.
