Use Cases: Create Your Own Jira Solutions with AI Apps Builder

AI Apps Builder helps Jira teams turn ideas into working apps without writing code. By describing requirements in plain language, you can create custom dashboards, reports, admin pages, JSM portals, full Jira apps, and more.

This page provides example use cases to demonstrate how AI Apps Builder can be used across different Jira scenarios.

Use Case: Automated Subtask Creation with Templates

Jira teams repeatedly create the same subtasks for recurring workflows. This manual process takes time, leads to inconsistencies, and increases the risk of missing important steps.

Solution: With AI Apps Builder, you can generate a custom Jira app that automates subtask creation using reusable templates. The app includes:

• An admin page to manage subtask templates (title, description, assignee, priority, due dates)

• An issue panel to create subtasks in one click

This eliminates manual work and ensures every issue follows a consistent structure.

Prompt

Build a Jira app that generates subtasks for any issue using templates. The app has two modules:

• A page where admins can create, edit, and delete subtask templates. Each template includes a name and a predefined set of subtasks (title, description, assignee, priority, and due-date offset).

• An issue panel that allows users to click "Create Subtasks" and select a template.

Use Case: Sprint Velocity Performance Report

Understanding team performance across sprints in Jira often requires opening multiple reports or exporting data. This makes it harder for project managers and scrum masters to quickly see velocity trends and plan future sprints.

Solution: With AI Apps Builder, you can generate a custom report that analyzes team performance across recent sprints. The gadget visualizes committed versus completed story points, calculates average velocity, and highlights trends in team performance.

Prompt:

Build a dashboard gadget to analyze the team’s performance across sprints. Show a velocity trend chart for the last 3 sprints, plotting story points committed versus completed in each sprint. Calculate and display the average velocity over this period, and include a trend line or percentage change to highlight improvements or declines in velocity.

Use Case: OKR Board for Jira

Teams often manage goals, KPIs, and Jira work in separate tools, making it difficult to align strategy with daily execution and track progress across departments.

Solution: With AI Apps Builder can create a centralized OKR management app inside Jira. The app can include:

• Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) management

• Hierarchical OKR structure across teams and departments

• KPI tracking and progress monitoring

• Linking OKRs to Jira issues and JQL queries

• Dashboards and reporting views

• Timeline and roadmap visualization

• Workspace support and role-based permissions

• Automated progress updates based on Jira activity.

Prompt:

Build an OKR Board app for Jira.

The app must be implemented as a Global Page (jira:globalPage) only. Do not use project-level pages. All functionality — including OKRs, dashboards, reports, KPIs, and management — must be available within this single global page.

The app should allow teams to define, manage, track, and align Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) directly within Jira, connecting high-level strategy with day-to-day execution.

Include a global Dashboard and Reports section where users can view OKR progress, KPIs, and performance insights across projects and teams.

1. OKR Structure (Objectives & Key Results)

Users should be able to create and manage:

• Objectives (high-level goals)

• Key Results (measurable outcomes)

Support a hierarchical OKR structure:

Company → Department → Team → Individual

Allow linking OKRs across different levels (alignment view).

Each Key Result should support:

• Target value

• Current value

• Progress (%)

• Status (On track, At risk, Off track)

Users must be able to edit Objectives and Key Results after creation.

2. Linking OKRs to Jira Issues

Users should be able to connect:

• Epics

• Stories

• Tasks

• Custom issue types

OKR progress should update automatically based on linked Jira issues.

Support:

• JQL-based linking for dynamic issue selection

• Manual linking and unlinking of Jira issues

• Issue weighting to reflect impact on Key Results

Additionally, users must be able to link Jira issues by pasting a direct issue URL, which should be automatically parsed and attached to the Key Result.

3. OKR Roadmap & Timeline

Provide a visual roadmap for OKRs with:

• Yearly and quarterly cycles

• Timelines aligned with Jira issue dates

• Filtering by team, project, and objective owner

• Drag-and-drop adjustments in the timeline view

4. KPI Tracking

Users should be able to define KPIs separately or as part of Key Results.

Support:

• Numeric metrics

• Percentage metrics

• Threshold-based evaluation

Allow:

• Integration with external data sources via API

• Automatic KPI updates

5. Progress Tracking & Check-ins

Users should be able to:

• Update OKR progress manually

• Schedule regular check-ins (weekly or monthly)

• Receive reminders and notifications

• Store historical progress updates

• Add comments and status notes for each check-in

6. Dashboards & Reporting

Provide global dashboards and reports, including:

• OKR progress overview

• KPI performance

• Team alignment view

Support:

• Filters (team, project, timeframe, owner)

• Exporting reports (CSV, PDF)

• Real-time insights and analytics

7. Workspaces & Organization

Support multiple workspaces:

• Teams

• Departments

• Business units

Users should be able to:

• Switch between workspaces

• Share OKRs across teams

• Support cross-team OKRs

8. Permissions & Visibility

Respect Jira permissions where possible.

Support roles:

• Admin

• Editor

• Viewer

Allow:

• Private OKRs with restricted visibility

• Shared OKR dashboards for stakeholders

9. Automation & Integrations

Support:

• Automatic OKR updates based on Jira issue changes

• Native Jira integration

• Optional external API integrations

• Smart notifications and alerts

Use a clean, minimal, Jira-native interface. Include the following views:

• OKR Board (hierarchical tree)

• Alignment View (OKR relationships)

• Dashboard (analytics and reports)

Support:

• Drag-and-drop interactions

• Fast search and filtering

• Clear empty states for first-time users

• Visual indicators for progress and status

Create an app that connects strategy and execution in Jira by enabling teams to define OKRs, track KPIs, align work across teams, and automatically measure progress based on Jira activity.

Use Case: Gantt Chart Planner

Teams need a clear way to view Jira issue timelines, deadlines, and status progress in one place. Standard issue lists can make it difficult to understand how work is distributed over time.

Solution: With AI Apps Builder, you can create a Jira Global Page with a simple Gantt-style planner. The planner can include:

• Jira issues displayed as timeline bars

• Start and due dates for each issue

• Weekly timeline view

• Status-based color coding

• Status filter dropdown

• Sticky headers and issue list

• Responsive layout with aligned rows and timeline bars.

Prompt:

Generate a Jira Global Page app called "Gantt Chart Planner". Use a single Global Page module (jira:globalPage).

Provide a simple Gantt-style timeline view of Jira issues based on their start date and due date.

Fetch issues from a fixed JQL query, for example:

project = DEMO AND duedate is not EMPTY

For each issue, display:

• Issue key

• Summary

• Start date (use the created date as a fallback)

• Due date

• Status

Render a basic Gantt-style timeline view with:

• Issues displayed as horizontal bars across a weekly timeline

• Bars positioned between the start date and due date

• Color coding based on status category:

  • To Do

  • In Progress

  • Done

Include:

• Read-only view (no drag-and-drop)

• Simple status filter dropdown

• Refresh button to reload data

Use a clean timeline layout with the following structure:

• Left column: Issue list

• Right column: Timeline bars

The layout must use a single synchronized grid or table system to ensure perfect alignment between the left (issue list) and right (timeline) sections.

Requirements:

• Each issue row must have exactly the same height across both sections

• Column headers and row content must be pixel-perfect aligned horizontally

• The left column must have a fixed width

• The timeline section must be flexible and responsive

The timeline grid (days/weeks) must:

• Dynamically adapt to the available width

• Avoid empty whitespace or unused space

• Avoid overflow that creates blank areas

Timeline columns must be:

• Evenly distributed

• Consistent in width

• Perfectly aligned with Gantt bars

Gantt bars must:

• Start and end within the correct date columns

• Never overflow or misalign with the grid

• Maintain vertical alignment with the corresponding issue row

The layout must remain fully aligned during:

• Horizontal scrolling

• Filtering

• Data refresh

No visual shifting, row jumping, or misalignment is allowed in any state.

Use a clean, minimal, Jira-native interface.

Include:

• Smooth horizontal scrolling for the timeline

• Sticky timeline headers (dates)

• Sticky left column (issue list)

• Loading state while fetching data

• Empty state if no issues are found.

Create a clean, stable, and visually aligned Gantt-style planner inside Jira that accurately represents issue timelines without layout inconsistencies or alignment issues.

Use Case: Jira Admin Cleanup & Access Review Dashboard

Inactive Jira users can leave behind unresolved issues, unused dashboards, and outdated filters. Inactive accounts may also continue consuming billable product access. Jira admins need a simple way to identify and clean up these resources.

Solution: With AI Apps Builder you can create a centralized dashboard for reviewing abandoned Jira items and inactive accounts.

The dashboard can include:

• Unresolved issues assigned to inactive users

• Dashboards and filters owned by inactive users

• Billable-access review for inactive accounts and group memberships.

Prompt:

Create a dashboard report for Jira admins with three tables: unresolved issues assigned to inactive users, dashboards owned by inactive users, and filters owned by inactive users. Each table should show the main details needed to review, reassign, or clean up abandoned Jira items. Add billable-access review to track which inactive accounts still consume product access and through which groups.

📋 Use Case: Security Reviews Checklist for Jira Issues

Jira teams rely on checklists for routine work like security reviews. If there is no structured checklist in a Jira issue, teams might miss steps, have trouble tracking progress, or follow different procedures.

Solution: With AI Apps Builder, teams can create a custom Issue Panel checklist right inside a Jira issue. The panel shows a clear list of security review steps for engineers or reviewers to follow and check off. This helps teams make sure every required security check is done the same way each time.

Prompt:

Create a Security Review Checklist for a Jira issue. The checklist should include these items:

1. Review permission scopes

2. Check authentication and access control

3. Ensure sensitive data is not logged or exposed

4. Confirm data access follows least-privilege principles

5. Verify no unapproved external data transfers

6. Check input validation and error handling

7. Review dependencies and versions

Use Jira style for UI.

Use Case: Sprint Health Dashboard Gadget

Teams need a quick way to monitor sprint progress, spot delays, and review remaining work without switching between reports.

Solution: With AI Apps Builder you can create a dashboard gadget that shows sprint health and progress in one place. The gadget can include:

• Project and sprint filters

• Burndown chart for remaining story points

• Committed vs. completed work summary

• Days left in the sprint

• Color-coded sprint status

• Table with all sprint tasks.

Prompt:

Create a dashboard gadget that shows the sprint health and progress. Add dropdowns to filter by project and by sprint. Include a burndown chart of remaining story points vs. time, a summary of committed vs. completed issues, and the number of days left in the sprint. Indicate whether the sprint is on track or delayed with color-coded status (green for on track, yellow for at-risk, red for behind schedule). Show a table with all tasks in the sprint.
