Prep your sprint review from Jira in 5 minutes
Query the sprint with JQL, convert the exported issues to Markdown, build a done/in-progress/carried-over table, and generate a short status summary. The whole chain takes about five minutes and ends in a Confluence-ready page.
The chain
- 01
Query the sprint
Build a JQL filter scoped to the sprint and the team, then run it in Jira's issue search.
You get: Every issue in the sprint, in one Jira view you can copy from.
- 02
Convert the issues to Markdown
Paste the Jira output. Wiki markup, panels, and code macros come back as Markdown.
You get: A clean Markdown list of the sprint's work.
- 03
Build the status table
Describe the columns you want — issue, owner, status, notes — and generate the table from your list.
You get: A Markdown table you can read top to bottom in the meeting.
- 04
Write the summary you actually say out loud
Paste the table and get shipped / in flight / blocked / carried over. The prompt below does the same thing in your own assistant.
You get: A four-part summary short enough to read in two minutes.
- 05
Post it to Confluence
Convert the page and paste it into the team's Confluence space before the meeting.
You get: A linkable sprint review page instead of a message that scrolls away.
The prompt for the thinking step
Sprint review summary from a status table
Paste the Markdown table from step 3 into the placeholder.
You are preparing a sprint review summary for a delivery team. Be plain and specific. No praise, no filler. Sprint data: <sprint> [PASTE YOUR MARKDOWN STATUS TABLE HERE] </sprint> Produce Markdown with exactly these four sections: ## Shipped What reached done. One line each, phrased as the outcome, with the issue key in parentheses. ## Still in flight What is genuinely in progress, and what remains before it is done. ## Blocked What is stuck, who or what it is stuck on, and how long it has been stuck. If nothing is blocked, write "Nothing blocked" and move on. ## Carried over What did not start, and whether it should be re-committed or dropped. Rules: - Do not invent status that is not in the data. If a row is ambiguous, put it under Carried over and flag it. - No adjectives about the team's performance. - Keep the whole summary under 250 words.

Start with the Jira to Markdown converterQuestions people ask
Do I need a Jira admin or an API token for this?
No. Everything runs on text you copy out of the Jira issue view yourself. There is no Jira integration to install and no credentials to hand over.
Can I reuse this for a daily standup?
Yes — skip the table step and paste the Markdown issue list straight into the status report generator. The four-section output works at any cadence.
What if my team runs Kanban instead of sprints?
Change the JQL filter from sprint to a resolved-date window, for example the last 14 days. Every step after that is identical.
Which steps use AI?
The table generator and the status report generator are AI-backed. The JQL builder, the Jira converter, and the Confluence converter run fully in your browser.
