What you'll accomplish
You'll connect Stepsize AI to your Jira or Linear workspace so it automatically generates plain-language sprint performance reports — summarizing velocity, blockers, technical debt trends, and team progress — without you manually exporting data or building pivot tables in Excel. Every sprint, you'll receive a narrative summary of what happened and why, ready to share with your sponsor or reference in your retrospective.
What you'll need
- A Stepsize AI account (free first report; team trial available; $29/month per regular update subscription)
- Jira Cloud or Linear account with at least one completed sprint worth of data
- Admin or project-level access to your Jira/Linear workspace (to authorize the integration)
- Time needed: 30 minutes to connect and configure; reports generate automatically after that
- Cost: First report free (no credit card); ongoing subscription ~$29/month per report cadence
How-To Guide: AI-Generated Sprint Metrics & Performance Reports
Step 1: Create Your Stepsize AI Account
Go to stepsize.com and click Get started or Try for free. Sign up with your work email or Google account.
Stepsize will ask about your project management tool during onboarding — select Jira or Linear depending on what your team uses.
What you should see: An onboarding flow asking you to connect your project management tool.
Troubleshooting: If your organization uses Jira Server (self-hosted) rather than Jira Cloud, contact Stepsize support — the standard OAuth integration only works with Jira Cloud.
