Gen AI for Project management productivity and quality

Why I use Agents to speed up my development project management
aka : “Why I use QuantaLogic to speed up my technical management of the QuantaLogic project”
aka: “why this should convince you that there are excellent reasons to apply this to your project (whether for the same principles of for similar automations).”
Main reasons
- This is personal: simple common sense, commonly shared, of ‘eat your own dog food’. Using your own solution means improving it, discovering its possibilities and multiplying its uses.
- To prove ability of aI agents to be productivity tools, anchored in everyday life (not a gadget).
Let's highlight it through a concrete example, stating from a new feature to implement: implementation of a "Two-Factor-Authentication login process" :
[Step #1] I clearly outline the need in a concise manner and submit it to a prompt for structuring.
- The content,
- An explanatory diagram,
- Metadata that is used to categorize the processing.
👉 I obtain quality work, quickly, that I refine. This is a very good starting point.
👉 If necessary, I can iterate to obtain complements in the content.
Note: This exploration in conversational mode, once we have a convincing result, we transpose it into a ‘Template’ (in the sense of QuantaLogic this is what we mean by a prompt)
[Step #2] I associate in a Workflow the output of the previous prompt with my monitoring tool (Here JIRA). To do this, I select the appropriate tool in the service catalog, which I configure with my accesses.
⭐ The benefits are numerous:
- We eliminate the need for repetitive copy and paste (a small but valuable gain).
- We have developed a resource enriched with metadata that standardizes the files, ensuring they are of consistent quality.
- Using more sophisticated prompts, we enhance the generation of specifications by including project-specific and company-specific considerations, while adhering to a validated format.
- We can iterate on a source of specifications and break it down into tasks with the appropriate level of detail.
- Even more ambitiously, we are building our own high-level software development environment: in addition to the Jira development files, our workflow can create (or initiate) documentation, test plans, and communication materials. All we need to do is enhance our workflow.
In conclusion,
👉 By examining the repetitive tasks within our organization, we find that there are numerous opportunities for easily accessible automation. However, beyond just automation and productivity, we are likely to see significant improvements in quality as well. We are merely at the beginning of what intelligent agents can offer.
