🔮 Revolutionize your support operations using AI-based automation in JIRA

  • 🚀 Boost SLA compliance.

  • 📊 Automate ticket classification.

  • ⚙️ Predict resolution delays, all with Python and machine learning.


Modern technical support teams often struggle with manual ticket routing, backlog prioritization, and SLA breaches. This project delivers a complete solution using AI and data-driven automation built into the JIRA environment.

Whether you're managing a support team or optimizing ITSM workflows, this toolset helps reduce time-to-resolution, prevent SLA violations, and enhance team productivity.


  • Automated Ticket Classification: Classify new JIRA issues by category (e.g., Bug, Feature, Incident) using natural language processing (NLP).

  • SLA Breach Prediction: Predict whether an open issue is at risk of missing its SLA based on historical ticket patterns.

  • 📤 Auto-routing Logic: Assign issues to the most appropriate support group based on AI tagging and JIRA custom fields.

  • 📈 Interactive Dashboards: Visualize ticket risk levels, SLA trends, and issue heatmaps via reporting dashboards.

  • 🔌 API Integration Ready: Easily integrate the solution into existing JIRA workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
