Project Brief with Jira

The Project Brief is designed to include an entire Product Story in a single doc.

Lane Shackleton

The Project Brief is designed to include an entire Product Story in a single doc - from brainstorming, to task tracking, to having a retrospective. This doc grows as the project does, with users adding their own sections, views, and content as they see fit. This is the template we use at Coda to begin our projects, with some added content to show an example of what it could look like filled in.

Many of our customers run eng execution on

Atlassian's Jira⁠

product. We've extended our basic template to show how you can set up a Zapier integration to bring data from Jira into Coda. We cover this in

Doc Setup⁠

section. For more detailed instructions on how to get started with Coda on Zapier, check out these

help instructions⁠
