Flag Jira issues that fail release checks before they ship

Checks every Jira story against your release checklist and alerts your team in Slack when something isn't ready.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; all paths must finish before it continues; runs once per each linked jira issue.

The problem it solves

You find out a story wasn't actually finished only after it's already in the release, and by then it's too late to fix quietly. Chasing down which tickets meet the Definition of Done means digging through Jira one by one, and blockers slip through the cracks until customers notice.

Who it fits

Release managers, QA leads, and engineering teams who need an automatic guardrail before code ships.

How it works

  1. When a Jira issue is updated or linked, the system checks it automatically
  2. It pulls the full issue details, including the Definition of Done field
  3. Each issue is reviewed one by one against the completion checklist
  4. Any issue that isn't fully done gets flagged and logged to a Monday.com tracking board
  5. A Slack message summarizes what's ready and what's still blocked for that release
What you get

Releases that never ship with unfinished work

You get every Jira story checked against your release checklist automatically, with a Slack summary of what's ready to ship.

What you get

A Monday.com board of unresolved blockers and a Slack summary of release readiness.

What you need

A Jira Software Cloud account, a Monday.com account, and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
