Jira + Zenpa

For a boutique shop juggling retainers, Jira often holds the delivery board for one client site rebuild, the tickets, and the details you should not have to re-open one by one. Zenpa indexes the issues you choose on your Mac so you can list a sprint, check status, inspect a ticket, and draft a new one from a client meeting.

Connect Jira

Download Zenpa for Mac, sign in with Jira, then choose which projects and spaces to sync. There are no API keys to configure.

  1. Install Zenpa on your Mac and open the app.
  2. Connect Jira with the normal sign-in flow.
  3. Choose which projects and spaces to sync.
  4. Ask Zenpa a question about that content, or draft a reply when you are ready.

See what is inside a Jira sprint

Ask what is in the sprint. Zenpa returns a list of the Jira tickets from your local index.

The problem: You need a quick read of the current client delivery sprint and do not want to click through the board.

What Zenpa does: Zenpa lists the synced tickets in that sprint on your Mac, with enough detail to scan owners and status.

  1. Ask Zenpa what is inside the current sprint, or name the sprint.
  2. Scan the ticket list for status and owners.
  3. Open any ticket you need to inspect further.

What you get

You ask: What is inside the current Arden Goods sprint?

Zenpa answers: Here are the tickets in the current Arden Goods sprint: • AG-214: Ship homepage hero modules (In Progress, Maren) • AG-222: Product grid filters for the shop launch (In Progress, You) • AG-231: About page copy pass (To Do, Owen) • AG-240: Cart empty-state art (Done, You)

Zenpa returned a list of the Jira tickets in the sprint from your local index.

Check the status of items in a Jira sprint

Ask for the sprint status. Zenpa returns how many tickets are done, in progress, to do, or blocked, with the key items called out.

The problem: The client check-in is about to start and you need the health of the delivery sprint, not another board click-through.

What Zenpa does: Zenpa reads synced sprint tickets on your Mac and rolls up status in one answer.

  1. Ask Zenpa for the status of the current sprint, or name the sprint.
  2. Scan the counts and any blocked or at-risk items.
  3. Open a ticket if you need the detail behind a status.

What you get

You ask: What is the status of the items in the current Arden Goods sprint?

Zenpa answers: 4 tickets in the sprint. Nothing blocked. Status | Count | Tickets Done | 1 | AG-240 In Progress | 2 | AG-214, AG-222 To Do | 1 | AG-231 At risk: AG-231 About page copy still has no assignee progress and is due Tuesday.

Zenpa rolled up sprint status from your local Jira index.

Get the full picture on a Jira ticket

Ask what Zenpa knows about the ticket. You get the description, story points, urgency, people working on it, and status.

The problem: Someone mentions a ticket key and you need the deliverable details without opening Jira and hunting fields.

What Zenpa does: Zenpa reads the synced ticket on your Mac and returns a full description you can act on.

  1. Ask Zenpa what it knows about the ticket, and include the key if you have it.
  2. Check description, story points, urgency, people, and status in the answer.
  3. Open the Jira source if you need comments or attachments.

What you get

You ask: What do you know about AG-214?

Zenpa answers: AG-214 Ship homepage hero modules. Build the three scroll-locked hero modules from the approved Figma for the Arden Goods shop launch, including mobile crop variants. Field | Value Status | In Progress Priority | High Story points | 5 Assignee | Maren Reporter | Owen Watcher | You

Zenpa returned the full ticket details from your local Jira index.

Draft a Jira ticket from a client meeting

Describe what the client asked for. Zenpa drafts a Jira ticket you can review before it is created.

The problem: A client meeting produced a clear deliverable, but writing the ticket later loses detail.

What Zenpa does: Zenpa turns the meeting notes into a draft ticket with title, description, and suggested fields, then waits for your review.

  1. Tell Zenpa what the client asked for in the meeting.
  2. Add project, priority, or assignee hints if you have them.
  3. Review the draft ticket, edit if needed, then create it when it looks right.

What you get

You ask: Draft a Jira ticket from my meeting with Owen: homepage hero still crops wrong on mobile, needs a fix before the March 21 shop soft live, high priority

Zenpa answers: Draft ticket: Fix homepage hero mobile crops before shop soft live. Description covers Owen's report, the March 21 soft-live date, and acceptance criteria for the three approved hero modules. Priority: High. Suggested assignee: Maren.

Zenpa drafts the ticket. You stay in control of what actually gets created in Jira.
