Below are key features that differentiate NASA – Not Another Standup App, spanning from item management to deeper Jira integrations.

Stream-Based Workflow

  • Definition: Each meeting (daily standup or sprint review) is set up as a “Stream.”

  • Benefits: Recurring schedule, consistent set of participants, Slack reminders, and board-based scope.

My Update (Preparation Mode)

  • Individual Prep: Each user assembles relevant Jira issues or text items prior to the meeting.

  • Suggested Issues: Filters like JQL or quick-filters show tasks assigned to you or matching specific criteria.

  • Copy & Paste: Carry over items from a previous meeting to maintain continuity.

Live Meeting Dashboard & Timer

  • Standup Timer: Divide total time by participants or give each person a set slot (1–2 minutes).

  • Team Meeting Timer: Allocate time per agenda topic; can exceed if needed, with a visible “overtime” warning.

  • Follow-up Flags: Quick button to mark an item for later discussion or action.

Slack Integration & Notifications

  • Update Reminder: Nudges participants ~30 minutes before to fill out My Update.

  • Meeting Reminder: Short notice (e.g., 3 minutes prior) to join on time.

  • Flexibility: Channel or direct message settings, possibly expanding to email or other chat tools.

Suggested Issues & Personal Filters

  • Scrum Master Filter: A global filter so everyone focuses on the same backlog or sprint.

  • Personal Filter: Each user can see additional items, e.g., Confluence “Watched” pages or custom JQL.

  • Adaptive Preparation: Encourages each person to review the issues that matter most.

Copy & Paste (Previous Updates)

  • Purpose: Speed up daily standup prep by carrying over incomplete tasks from the last meeting.

  • Selective: Choose which sections or comments to copy.

  • Time-Saver: Minimizes retyping, keeps a daily chain of progress visible.

Headline & Text Items

  • Headline: A structuring element with no comments/follow-ups/emojis.

  • Text Item: Short or long text, can add comments or follow-ups.

  • Convert to Jira Issue (on creation): If you realize it’s an actionable item needing a Jira ticket.

Item Clipboard

  • Minus-Button Removal: Removing an item from My Update places it into a clipboard if it doesn’t belong to a filter.

  • Reusability: Retrieve it later or copy the text to create a new item.

  • Clean Prep: Minimizes clutter if you change your mind about certain topics.
