Why this helps
Release planning details can be scattered across repository discussions before anyone sets up the sprint.
- Create a sprint with its purpose captured up front.
- Reduce manual setup after a release plan is agreed.
- Keep planning details ready for Jira execution.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bitbucket and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Jira sprint using the board, name, goal, and dates supplied in the request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real release plan and verify the sprint details.
