Using GPT to build a Project Management assistant for Jira environments

In the domain of Project Management, the sheer volume of data is a challenge that project managers continually have to deal with. Effectively steering projects from inception to completion requires handling of diverse information streams, including timelines, budgetary considerations, and task dependencies. To navigate this data-driven landscape with precision and agility, project managers must rely on efficient and sophisticated tools. These tools have become essential, as they enable project managers to streamline communication, optimize resource allocation, and make informed decisions in real-time. However, many of these tools have steep learning curves and require using complex programming languages to retrieve the exact data that project managers need. In this work we present JiraGPT Next, a software that uses the GPT Large Language Model to ease the process by which project managers deal with large amounts of data. It is conceived as an add-on for Jira, one of the most popular Project Management tools, and provides a natural language interface to retrieve information. This work presents the design decisions behind JiraGPT Next and an evaluation of the accuracy of GPT in this context, including the effects of providing different prompts to complete a particular task.
