Know which ServiceNow changes still have open Jira work
For change managers who want to see whether the Jira work behind upcoming ServiceNow changes is finished, by asking their AI assistant.

Connector
Connect ServiceNow, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
Approving changes without knowing the dev work is done
Change managers approve ServiceNow changes without knowing whether the work behind them is finished in Jira. Checking means searching Jira for each change number and chasing developers, so changes go ahead with work open or wait for work already done.
Without PopdockAI
- List upcoming changes in ServiceNow
- Search Jira for each change number
- Read every issue status and chase developers
- Approve or delay on incomplete information
With PopdockAI
- Changes starting in the window and their open tasks are read
- Jira issues carrying each change number are found
- Each change is sorted into ready, at risk or no Jira work
- Read only in both systems

**Objective:** For ServiceNow change requests planned to start in the next `{days-ahead}` days (default 14), optionally for assignment group `{assignment-group}`, check whether the Jira work they deploy is finished, optionally limited to Jira project `{project-key}`. Read only.
**Step 1: Read the upcoming changes**
Call `servicenow-get-change-request` with `planned-start-date.from` set to today and `planned-start-date.to` set to `{days-ahead}` days from today (default 14), filtered by `assignment-group` when `{assignment-group}` is given. Ignore changes that are Closed or Canceled. If none come back, say so and stop.
**Step 2: Find the Jira issues in each change**
The link between the two systems is the change number (CHG followed by digits) written into the Jira summary or added as a Jira label. For each change, call `jira-get-issue` with `summary.contains` set to the change number, filtered by `project-key` when given. If `{project-key}` is given, also call `jira-get-issue` for that project and keep any issue whose `labels` contain the change number. Jira release (fix version) data is not available on this server, so match only on the change number.
For each change, also call `servicenow-get-change-task` filtered by `change-request` to see its open tasks.
**Step 3: Classify each change**
* **Ready:** every linked Jira issue is Done.
* **At risk:** at least one linked Jira issue is not Done. List those issues.
* **No Jira work found:** no issue carries the change number. Normal changes with code should have one.
**Step 4: Report**
One row per change: number, short description, type, risk, approval, planned start, assignment group, open change tasks, readiness, and the Jira keys with status and assignee. Sort by planned start. End with counts per readiness bucket and the soonest at-risk change.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* `servicenow-get-change-request` and `servicenow-get-change-task` are on the servicenow server. `jira-get-issue` is on the jira server.
* This prompt is read only. Do not call `servicenow-update-change-request`, `servicenow-update-change-task`, `jira-update-issue` or `jira-add-issue-comment`.
**Validation:**
* If a change's approval is not Approved, say so in the row even when the Jira work is ready.
* If a Jira issue carries several change numbers, list it under each change.
* If Jira returns nothing for every change, say that no Jira issue references these changes and suggest the `plan-change-from-jira-issues` prompt.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Change managers
Know which changes are ready
See ready, at risk and no Jira work groups for every change in the next window.
Which ServiceNow changes starting in the next 7 days still have open Jira issues?
Release managers
Catch unfinished work before release
Find unfinished issues behind a change days before it starts, with status and assignee.
Check readiness of ServiceNow changes for the Payments group against Jira project PAY for the next 10 days.
Engineering managers
See which tickets block a change
Know which of your team's issues are holding up a planned change.
Which Jira issues in project WEB are blocking ServiceNow changes planned this month?
How it works
What PopdockAI does when you ask
You give a window of days, and your AI assistant checks each upcoming change against the Jira work behind it. Nothing is changed in either system.
01
Ask
You give a window of days, and optionally a group and Jira project.
02
Read
It reads the ServiceNow changes starting in that window and their open tasks.
03
Match
It finds Jira issues carrying each change number in their summary or labels.
04
Report
You get each change as ready, at risk or no Jira work, with unfinished issues.
