Features
NASA - Not Another Standup App provides meeting management for Agile teams in Jira, with configurable streams, Jira integration, and multiple meeting formats.
Meeting Templates
NASA includes 11 pre-configured templates for common agile ceremonies such as Daily Standup, Sprint Planning, Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective, and One-on-One meetings. Each template sets appropriate questions, meeting type, and time allocations. Start with a template and adjust settings to match your team's workflow.
See Meeting Templates for the full list of available templates and configuration options.
Stream-Based Workflow
Streams are the core organizational unit in NASA. Each stream represents a recurring meeting with its own participants, questions, schedule, and settings. Teams can run multiple streams simultaneously and switch between them using the stream dropdown in the sidebar.
See Stream-Based Workflow for details on creating, configuring, and navigating streams.
Preparation Features
Before each meeting, participants prepare their updates in the My Update view. NASA suggests relevant Jira issues based on linked boards and user assignments. For Team Meetings, a Team Preview shows other participants' updates before the meeting starts. Items from previous meetings can be copied forward.
See Preparation Features for the full preparation workflow.
Live Meeting Features
Meetings begin in a lobby where participants confirm readiness. During the meeting, configurable timers track time per person (Standups) or per agenda topic (Team Meetings). Team Meetings support real-time item creation and editing by the Scrum Master and Coverer. Emoji reactions provide quick feedback without interrupting the speaker.
See Live Meeting Features for meeting controls and interaction options.
Integration Features
NASA connects to Jira boards for issue suggestions, issue creation, and status updates without leaving the app. Slack integration sends meeting reminders and outcome notifications. Meeting results can be exported to Confluence via the Team Journal.
See Integration Features for setup and configuration of each integration.
Planning Poker
Team Meetings include built-in estimation using the Fibonacci sequence (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21). Any participant can initiate a vote on an issue, and the facilitator reveals results after a configurable timer. Estimation results are posted as NASA comments on the Jira issue.
See Planning Poker for usage instructions and configuration.
Context Fields
Context Fields display additional Jira information (fix versions, components, custom fields) as badges next to issues during meetings. Each meeting type supports up to two configurable context fields. Text and number fields can be edited in real-time during the meeting.
See Context Fields for field selection and display options.
Post-Meeting Automation
After meetings end, NASA can automatically notify participants via Slack, export meeting outcomes to Confluence, and track follow-up items. The Team Journal provides a searchable history of all past meetings.
See Post-Meeting Automation for available automations and how to enable them.
Stream Management
Duplicate Streams - Copy an existing stream's configuration to create a new stream with the same questions, settings, and integrations.
Stream Privacy - Control stream visibility so only invited participants can see and access private streams.
