Create Jira issues from planning docs

Turning a planning document into well-formed tickets takes a product manager most of an afternoon. An Orkeste agent reads the planning page in Confluence or Notion, splits it into stories with acceptance criteria and creates the issues in Jira once the PM approves them.

The problem

Specs are written in one place and tickets in another. Copying them across loses detail, and acceptance criteria are written in a hurry or not at all.

How the workflow runs

Runs: When you start it with a planning page.

  1. Read the plan: The agent reads the planning page in Confluence or Notion, or the text you paste.
  2. Split into stories: It breaks the plan into stories small enough for one person.
  3. Write acceptance criteria: Each story gets a clear title, a description and acceptance criteria.
  4. Approve: Each issue waits in Validations: the PM edits, approves or drops it.
  5. Create in Jira: Approved issues are created in the project you name, with a reference to the plan.

No issue is created in Jira until the PM approves it.

Questions about this workflow

Can it put the issues in the next sprint?

Not today. Agents create issues and add comments in Jira; the PM moves them into the sprint.

Can it read a Google Doc?

Not its content today. Keep the plan in Confluence or Notion, or paste it into the run.

Does it work with Linear?

Yes. In Linear, agents create issues and can update their status.
