Getting started

Set up your account and connect Jira in a few steps.

1. Sign in

Use the dashboard or work assistant to sign in. GumStory uses email-based authentication.

2. Connect Jira (optional)

Go to Settings and connect your Jira account. OAuth connects GumStory to your Jira Cloud instance. You can use GumStory without Jira for local projects and test cases.

3. Create a project

From the Projects page, create a new project. Give it a name. If you use Jira, link it to a Jira project key (e.g. KAN, PROJ).

4. Use the tools

Open a project for the dashboard. Quick create adds items from the dashboard. Work Assistant turns pasted text into structured bug, story, or test-case drafts you can edit before saving.
