What are Jira work suggestions?
Jira work suggestions provide automated task recommendations generated from multiple connected tools to help you decide which task to complete next.
Knowing what to work on next can be challenging as you navigate several tasks during your work day. When managed with several tools in your toolchain, it's especially easy to lose sight of ad-hoc tasks, such as reviewing pull requests or resolving critical vulnerabilities. You and your team can eliminate bottlenecks and maintain daily work momentum with contextual, timely, and actionable work suggestions. You can see information about the task at a glance, making it easy to plan your work and stay ahead of what needs to be done.
Work suggestions are available on scrum and kanban boards in Jira.
Types of work suggestions
You’ll see customized work suggestions for you when:
you’re added as a reviewer on an open pull request
you’re added as a reviewer on a draft pull request
your pull request has changes requested
your pull request is ready to merge
there hasn’t been any activity on your pull request for more than five days
deployments related to issues currently assigned to you have failed
builds related to issues currently assigned to you have failed
there are critical security vulnerabilities related to issues in your sprint
an issue assigned to you in the current sprint blocks other issues
an issue assigned to you in the project blocks other issues
You may get some or all of these work suggestions depending on the source code management tool you’re using and its connection with Jira, as well as the specific type of Jira board in use, whether it’s an agile or a scrum board.
View your work suggestions
Jira work suggestions are enabled by default for you. You’ll see the work suggestions panel on your Jira board only when suggestions are customized for the context of your work are available and you haven’t previously disabled work suggestions.
To view your work suggestions:
Go to your Jira board and select your avatar to open the work suggestions panel.
Hover on or select a suggestion to view more information about the task and take action.
Hover on a suggestion and select Snooze for 24 hours or Remove suggestion to permanently remove the suggestion from your work suggestions list.
Your suggestions are only visible to you and won't be visible to other team members or admins.
Close the work suggestions panel
To temporarily close the work suggestions panel, select Close () on it.
The panel will open again when you select your avatar on the Jira board, provided suggestions are available for you, and you haven’t turned off work suggestions.
Turn off work suggestions
If you don’t want to get any work suggestions, you can turn it off altogether. Once turned off, the work suggestions panel won’t open when you select your avatar on the Jira board.
Go to your Jira board.
Select View settings and turn the Work suggestions toggle off.
You can always turn Work suggestions on at any time to start getting suggestions again.
