Hi HN,<p>I am an engineer turned PM.<p>My engineering leads will not switch to other softwares (LinearApp / Clubhouse).<p>I do not mind watching the progress in JIRA, but writing user stories in JIRA is a serious problem.<p>Here’s why:
All of my thinking happens in documents.
Putting ideas in JIRA can take hours, and it transports me to a non-creative world with grunt, data entry work. I do it. But it is expensive in terms of time, and attention sunk.<p>Is there a way to convert document paragraphs / sentences in documents to user stories in JIRA?<p>I may write a script to do this and put it up on Github, but I am wondering if a solution already exists. It must, it's a pretty common problem with most PMs in my network.
First, I'm sorry you've been relegated to PM. Jira (and PMing,
generally) is valuable insofar as it's created jobs. But it's
like the five highway workers standing around the hole: one person
to dig, and the other four to watch.<p>To <i>not</i> answer your question, I don't understand your question.
To me, a "user story" is the same as a document, just a bunch of
prose no one will read.
You didn't mention what you are using for documents creation.
Pandoc has support for Jira Wiki markup, and supports a lot of different input formats.
