Flow Guard for Jira Cloud

The work that stopped moving comes first.

Flow Guard finds the work stuck in Jira and puts it in the order worth acting on. Why each one ranks where it does, and whether it actually got resolved a week later, are both there to read.

What Flow Guard does, in four moves

  1. 1Finds itTime in status, blockers, unassigned active work, dates — signals already sitting in Jira, read every day.
  2. 2Ranks itOne list across every monitored project, ordered by where acting is worth most right now.
  3. 3Shows why"Stopped for 11 days, against a 3-day rule" — the observed value and the threshold, every time.
  4. 4Checks backA week later it confirms from Jira's own record whether the risk actually cleared.

9 explainable signals

Aging, inactivity, blockers, ownership, due dates, dependencies, sprint carryover, and release risk.

Up to 5 dependency hops

See visible downstream impact across projects instead of walking Jira links by hand.

0 automatic issue edits

Monitoring is read-only. Jira changes happen only after an explicit, permission-checked action.

From scattered signals to a focused review

Flow Guard reduces the review to three repeatable steps.

1

Detect

Monitor selected projects with a previewed, explainable policy.

2

Prioritize

Fuse related signals into one finding and rank intervention value.

3

Resolve

Act explicitly, then confirm what Jira shows as resolved the following week.

Know why it is ranked before you act

Finding detail showing signal evidence, thresholds, downstream impact, and score contribution
Observed evidence, thresholds, and category contributions make every rank explainable.
Setup preview showing representative scope, raw matches, findings, and effective policy
Preview what monitoring will find before the policy becomes active.

One cross-project queue

Bring review delays, blockers, due dates, and ownership gaps into one intervention order.

Permission-visible actions

Queue reads, assignments, comments, and bulk triage stay within the viewer’s Jira permissions.

Confirmed outcomes

Review resolution only when Jira evidence and complete scan coverage support it.

Stop starting the day wondering what you missed

Stalled work stays stalled until somebody notices. Flow Guard reads the signals already in Jira — time in status, blockers, unassigned active work, dates — and puts them in the order worth acting on. Delivery and product managers open one list instead of a wall of dashboards.

What is stuck comes first

Ranked across every monitored project by where intervention is worth most right now. Nothing to go hunting for.

Every rank explains itself

Observed value, rule threshold and downstream impact travel with each finding. No priority without a reason.

An empty queue still means something

Empty means no configured rule matched — never confused with nobody having looked yet.

Ask an AI agent, in your own words

Flow Guard ships a Rovo agent and an MCP server. Ask it to summarise this week's delivery risk and it answers from the same queue and weekly review numbers the screens show.

AI access needs Atlassian Rovo, which is included with Jira Standard and above. Without it, the action queue and weekly review work exactly as they do now.

Rules decide, the model writes

Scores, ranking and conclusions are settled by the rules and handed over. The model never estimates a priority.

Permissions are unchanged

Asked through AI, it still returns only what the person asking can see in Jira, rechecked on every call.

Data stays inside Atlassian

No issue data is sent anywhere to be summarised. Flow Guard itself makes no external calls.

See the complete workflow in 26 seconds

From too many dashboards to an explainable queue, an explicit action, and a confirmed weekly outcome.

Works in English and Japanese

The app follows each viewer’s Jira language setting. Product screens, onboarding, practical playbooks, and FAQ are available in both languages.
