What teams run through Sands

Six workflows, all live in the product today. The two flagship runs replay below exactly as they were captured.

Flagship

Turn a client brief into a spec, then into Jira epics

The whole translation layer in one run: Sands reads your boards, flags the scope decisions, structures the workstreams, and details the deliverables. Approve it, and the spec becomes epics and issues in Jira through a preview-and-confirm gate.

The outcome: a two-week About Page build, planned into 3 workstreams and 18 deliverables.

Flagship

Coordinate execution without leaving the conversation

Create issues, assign owners, move status, comment. Each write is verified after it lands and comes back with a deep link to the real artifact.

The outcome: KSP-201, created and linked, in nine seconds.

Run a project retrospective

A grounded look back, with every number traceable to the board.

  • Pulls the completed and open work for the period
  • Buckets what shipped, what stalled, and what changed scope
  • Cites the counts verbatim from the tool, never from memory

A retrospective summary you can paste into the review meeting.

Produce a client-facing hours report

Billing-grade hours tables that paste cleanly into anything.

  • Fetches every worklog for the project, per issue, with pagination
  • Aggregates by component or label, with totals computed in code
  • Serializes the table deterministically: the model never types a number

A formatted hours table for chat, clipboard, and client documents.

Assess project health across a portfolio

Know which boards need attention before the client asks.

  • Checks open load, recent completions, and blocked work per project
  • Declines to assert what the data cannot support on partial views
  • Surfaces the boards where nothing has moved

A health readout per project, with the window it was read on.

Build a product roadmap

A structured roadmap from a one-page idea.

  • Reads the brief and flags the decisions that change the build
  • Structures workstreams and sequences the dependencies
  • Details deliverables under each workstream

A roadmap spec, stored and ready to send to your project tool.
