Description
Description Automate Jira backlog management with intelligent cleanup, prioritization, and AI-powered reporting. This workflow scans daily to identify stale issues, missing priorities, and overdue tasks — auto-updates Jira with corrective labels, logs everything into Google Sheets for tracking, and notifies teams via Slack.
