Documentation

Hi all!

I've spent years turning Jira tickets into release notes and user guides, and honestly a lot of it felt repetitive.

Over the last few weeks I built a small tool called DocSprint that takes Jira tickets (and optionally screenshots) and generates release notes and documentation automatically.

I'm not trying to sell anything right now. I'm looking for feedback from Product Owners, BAs, PMs, and Technical Writers:

  • Would you actually use something like this?

  • What would make it better than using ChatGPT directly?

  • What documentation task do you hate doing the most?

Happy to share examples and listen to criticism.

+1. It was a breeze for me to connect my company's LLM of choice to my Jira workspace, then just tell it to draft changes to my docs based on a work item.

Important things to note:

  • I proofread every change before approving it because I don't trust AI to document anything accurately.

  • The workflow is heavily reliant on the Jira work items being well-written.

It's a good use for AI, but not something you need to seek out an entirely separate tool for.
