What are Jira work suggestions?

Jira work suggestions provide automated task recommendations generated from across multiple connected tools to help you decide which task you can do next. The work suggestions are available on scrum and kanban boards in Jira.

As you navigate through several tasks during your work day, it can be challenging to know what to work on next. It’s especially easy to lose sight of ad-hoc tasks, such as reviewing pull request reviews or resolving critical vulnerabilities, when managed with several tools in your toolchain With contextual, timely, and actionable work suggestions you and your team can eliminate bottlenecks and keep momentum in your day-to-day work. You can see information about the task at a glance making it easy for you to plan your work and stay ahead of what needs to be done.

Types of work suggestions

You’ll see customized work suggestions for you when:

  • a pull request has you added as a reviewer

  • your pull request has changes requested

  • there are failed deployments related to issues currently assigned to you

  • there are failed builds related to issues currently assigned to you

  • (on scrum boards only) there are critical security vulnerabilities related to issues in your sprint

  • (on scrum boards) an issue assigned to you in the current sprint blocks other issues

  • (on agile boards) an issue assigned to you in the project blocks other issues
