Product updates and improvements.

  1. Week ending August 21, 2026

    Azure DevOps is now a first-class integration in Frankee, with the same core capabilities Jira teams already know. Connect your Azure DevOps project and Frankee handles story and epic pushes with Area Path set automatically, generates Sprint Review documents straight from your Azure DevOps data, and reads live board state for Daily Standup, the same as it does for Jira. This week we rounded that out with Action Item Agent support for Azure DevOps teams: every four hours, Frankee scans your team's recently closed work items across every type, from user stories to epics, and surfaces action items that got mentioned in a comment thread but never turned into their own ticket. Findings show up on your Agile Artifacts page with the same triage options as Jira, save one for retro, dismiss it, or push it straight into Azure DevOps as a new task. This supports the Agile and Scrum process templates.

  2. Week ending August 7, 2026

    This was a big week for Kanban teams. Team setup, daily standups, and stakeholder reviews now all adapted for Kanban. Daily Standup Starter reads live board data to surface stuck cards, column bottlenecks, and priority work coming due. Stakeholder Review for Kanban teams lets you choose any date range, so completed work and upcoming priorities are scoped to exactly the window you pick. We also patched a handful of security dependencies behind the scenes and fixed a bug where the Daily Standup briefing was showing prior information under today's date.

  3. Week ending July 25, 2026

    Sprint Review is easier to trust and easier to read this week. Dates now display in plain language, ticket references read as full sentences, and each section separates the headline from supporting detail so you can scan or dig in as needed. The narrative itself is more measured too — no inflated language, and story points, velocity, and capacity are no longer shown to stakeholders. Next Up now recommends a single priority with reasoning instead of listing the backlog, and a new section flags any work that fell outside the original plan. Exported Sprint Review documents now carry Frankee's branding as well.

  4. Week ending July 17, 2026

    This was a big week for smarter story generation. Frankee can now use your team's uploaded documents — product specs, requirements docs, and other reference material — to generate stories with richer, more accurate context, and gives you AI-powered feedback on how complete your Product Context is right after you save it. If your team has an active Definition of Ready, Frankee now automatically applies those criteria when generating stories, so quality standards are baked in from the start instead of checked after the fact. We also fixed a couple of bugs affecting authentication and how personas and context fields displayed, and shored up dependency security behind the scenes to keep your data protected.

  5. Week ending July 3, 2026

    This week brought several meaningful improvements to Frankee. The app is now fully mobile-responsive with a hamburger navigation, reflowed forms, and accessibility-standard touch targets — so you can use Frankee from any device. Frankee now remembers previously generated stories and uses that context when generating new ones, preventing duplicates and improving quality over time. New users now receive a welcome activation email and a rescue sequence if they get stuck in email verification. Scrum Masters and Product Owners can now create and activate a Definition of Ready using a starter template, keeping teams aligned on what 'ready' means before a story enters the sprint. Finally, the sidebar navigation has been redesigned and the home screen now greets you by role with personalized setup guidance for a better first-time experience.

  6. Week ending June 26, 2026

    Two significant capabilities shipped this week. Agile teams can now generate stakeholder-ready sprint reviews directly from their Jira data and download them as Word documents — a complete end-to-end workflow for sprint review preparation. Additionally, Frankee now supports full Jira synchronization: when you push stories to Jira, epics are created automatically, stories are linked, and Jira issue keys are tracked back in Frankee for complete traceability.

  7. Week ending June 19, 2026

    Frankee users can now reach the support team directly from within the app. A new contact form and direct email link provide a dual-channel support experience, making it easy to get help when you need it.
