What are Jira work suggestions?

Jira work suggestions provide automated task recommendations generated from multiple connected tools to help you decide which task to complete next.

Knowing what to work on next can be challenging as you navigate several tasks during your work day. When managed with several tools in your toolchain, it's especially easy to lose sight of ad-hoc tasks, such as reviewing pull requests or resolving critical vulnerabilities. You and your team can eliminate bottlenecks and maintain daily work momentum with contextual, timely, and actionable work suggestions. You can see information about the task at a glance, making it easy to plan your work and stay ahead of what needs to be done.

Work suggestions are available on scrum and kanban boards in Jira.

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
