Weekly Development Status Update
Generate a polished weekly status update for the T6IR (Talosix IR) project by pulling live data from Jira and publishing to the Product Management Confluence space.
When to Use
- End of each sprint week (typically Friday)
- When stakeholders or leadership need a project pulse
- Before sprint reviews or stakeholder meetings
- Anytime someone asks "what's the status of T6IR?"
Workflow
Step 1: Pull Data from Jira
Use the Atlassian MCP to query the T6IR project. Run these JQL queries:
Completed this week:
project = T6IR AND status changed to Done DURING (startOfWeek(), now()) ORDER BY resolved DESC
In Progress:
project = T6IR AND status = "In Progress" ORDER BY priority DESC
In Review / QA:
project = T6IR AND status IN ("In Review", "Code Review", "QA", "Testing") ORDER BY priority DESC
Blockers and Impediments:
project = T6IR AND (status = Blocked OR flagged = impediment OR priority = Blocker) ORDER BY created DESC
Created this week (new scope):
project = T6IR AND created >= startOfWeek() ORDER BY created DESC
Bugs opened this week:
project = T6IR AND type = Bug AND created >= startOfWeek() ORDER BY priority DESC
Bugs resolved this week:
project = T6IR AND type = Bug AND status changed to Done DURING (startOfWeek(), now())
Current sprint info:
project = T6IR AND sprint in openSprints()
Step 2: Calculate Metrics
From the queried data, compute:
- Velocity: Story points completed this week
- Completion rate: Stories done / stories committed for sprint
- Bug ratio: Bugs opened vs resolved this week
- Blocker count: Active blockers and average age
- Scope change: Stories added after sprint start
- PR throughput: PRs merged this week (if GitHub MCP available)
Step 3: Generate Status Report
Format the report using this template:
# T6IR Weekly Status Update
**Week of:** [Date Range]
**Sprint:** [Sprint Name/Number]
**Sprint Progress:** [X]% complete ([days remaining] days left)
**Overall Health:** 🟢 On Track | 🟡 At Risk | 🔴 Off Track

Step 4: Determine Health Status
Apply these rules for the health indicator:
- 🟢 On Track: Sprint burndown on pace, 0-1 blockers, no critical bugs unresolved > 2 days
- 🟡 At Risk: Sprint burndown slightly behind (>10% off pace), 2+ blockers, or scope added mid-sprint
- 🔴 Off Track: Sprint burndown significantly behind (>25% off pace), critical blocker > 3 days, or key stories at risk of missing sprint
Step 5: Publish to Confluence
Use the Atlassian MCP to publish the report:
-
Find or create the Status Update hub page in the Product Management space
- Search for existing page:
space = PM AND title = "T6IR Weekly Status Updates"
- If it exists, create a child page under it
- If not, create the hub page first, then add the update as a child
-
Page title format: T6IR Status Update - Week of [Month Day, Year]
-
Labels: status-update, t6ir, weekly-report, [sprint-name]
-
Confluence formatting: Convert the markdown to Confluence storage format:
- Use Confluence macros for tables, status badges, and panels
- Add an info panel at the top with the health status
- Use the expand macro for detailed sections if the report is long
Step 6: Notify Stakeholders
Offer to:
- Post a summary to Slack with a link to the Confluence page
- Tag specific stakeholders if there are blockers requiring attention
- Create Jira comments on blocked items noting they were flagged in the status report
Customization Options
When invoked, ask the user:
- "Want the standard T6IR report or should I focus on a specific epic/area?"
- "Any additional context to include (decisions made, strategy changes)?"
- "Should I publish directly to Confluence or generate a draft first?"
Historical Tracking
Each published report should include a link to the previous week's report at the bottom, creating a chain of weekly updates for easy historical browsing.
