Stream-Based Workflow

A Stream is the core organizational unit in NASA. Each stream represents a recurring meeting tied to a specific Jira board, with its own participants, schedule, questions, and settings.

The Streams Overview lists all meeting streams with their boards, participants, and schedules.

Prerequisites

  • NASA app installed on your Jira Cloud instance

  • Jira board (Scrum or Kanban) for the stream

  • Scrum Master or Jira Administrator role to create streams

What Is a Stream?

A stream defines everything about a recurring meeting:

  • Jira board - Which board's issues are available during preparation

  • Meeting type - Standup (per-person updates) or Team Meeting (per-topic agenda)

  • Participants - Who attends, with assigned roles (Scrum Master, Coverer, Participant)

  • Schedule - Which days and times the meeting occurs

  • Questions - The agenda structure participants follow when preparing updates

  • Settings - Timer mode, notifications, suggested issue filters, automation rules


Each stream operates independently. Changing settings in one stream does not affect others.

Create a New Stream

  1. Open NASA from the Jira sidebar (under Apps)

  2. Click Create Stream from the Streams Overview

  3. Select a Meeting Templates or start with a blank configuration

  4. Choose your Jira board from the dropdown

  5. Set the meeting type (Standup or Team Meeting)

  6. Configure the meeting questions and time allocations

  7. Add participants and assign roles

  8. Set the meeting schedule under Time & Date

  9. Click Save to create the stream


After creation, participants can start preparing their updates for the next scheduled meeting.

Switch Between Streams

If you belong to multiple streams, use the stream dropdown at the top of the NASA interface to switch between them. Each stream shows its own My Update, Team Journal, and Settings independently.

Duplicate a Stream

You can create a new stream based on an existing one. Open the stream, navigate to Settings > General, and click Duplicate Stream. For the full duplication workflow, see Duplicate Streams.

Stream Privacy

By default, all streams are visible to all NASA users in the Streams Overview. You can restrict visibility so only assigned participants see a stream. For configuration details, see Stream Privacy.

Archive or Delete a Stream

To remove a stream you no longer need:

  1. Go to Settings > General

  2. Scroll to the bottom and click Delete Stream

  3. Confirm the deletion


Deleting a stream permanently removes all its settings, Team Journal entries, and meeting history. This action cannot be undone.
