Signals: Using Jira + Git Activity to Automatically Flag At-Risk Work

Aug 12, 2025

Jira issue status is often...wrong. Or at least misleading. If you're a project, product, or engineering manager, you need something more reliable to understand if work is going to land in time (and what needs your attention).

Using Signals, available in Git Integration for Jira Advanced Edition, you get an activity-based view of what's actually going on with Jira issues.

In this video we'll take a quick look at:

  • Daily Activity Timeline: No updates to an issue in a week? A PR open for days without review? Quickly scan dozens of issues at a time to see what and when something has changed.
  • Risks: Setup rules to automatically flag issues that are stale, blocked, or off track.
  • Team View: Get a complete picture of workload and prioritization

Everyone starts with a plan, but reality often differs. Now you can accurately visualize what's happening in your sprints, and reprioritize work to hit deadlines.
