Inspiration
Creating and updating JIRA tickets during sprint planning is a manual and tedious process. Why not have Alexa manage your board during the meeting instead of a PM?
What it does
Create stories and bugs with given title Set priority Move tickets to current sprint Change swim lane status of issues Read out ticket information even if it’s written in another language!
How we built it
We have a lambda written in node.js that connects to the Alexa Skill that takes in all the various intents. This then connects to another lambda written in python that calls the Jira API and returns any response back.
Challenges we ran into
We tried to accomplish a lot in a very short time frame. Although a couple of us have fooled around a bit with Alexa, none of us have much experience. Also, Wifi was troublesome. Alexa's lack of freeform text. Echosim was having problems. Wanted to integrate with AWS new translation api, but it was in private beta.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to create quite a full featured product in a very short time.
What we learned
We learned about intents and slots with alexa skills. Memory settings for lambdas.
What's next for Jira Jabber
State management through DynamoDB Expanding feature set for more actions. Interactive creates and updates for tickets.
