Export Formats

• PDF: Title page, TOC, summary, issue tables, charts, appendix (A4, customizable styling)
• Excel: Multi-sheet workbooks (Issues, Summary, Changelog) with formatting, charts, formulas, auto-filters
• CSV: Configurable delimiter/encoding, streaming for large datasets, custom column selection
• JSON: Structured output with metadata, API-compatible nested objects, compression support

Report Templates

• Sprint Report (PDF): Title, executive summary, burndown chart, issue breakdown, team performance, retrospective (customizable colors/fonts)
• Issue Export (Excel): All Issues sheet with Key/Summary/Status/Priority/Assignee/Story Points, Summary sheet with pivot tables and charts
• Backlog Export (CSV): Key, summary, issue type, priority, story points, epic link, labels, created date with status filters

Implementation Examples

PDF Sprint Report: Template load → Fetch sprint/issue data → Generate burndown/metrics → Build PDF with title, summary, charts, issue tables → Save output

Excel Issue Export: JQL query → Load Issue Export template → Multi-sheet structure (All Issues + Summary + Changelog) → Formatting, auto-filters, charts → Output XLSX

CSV Bulk Export: JQL query → Select columns → Custom delimiter/encoding → Streaming for large datasets → Output CSV

JSON API Export: JQL query → Build metadata + nested issue objects → Optional pretty-print → Compression support → Output JSON

Scheduled Exports

Configure cron-based schedules with template, format, JQL, distribution (email), and archive settings. Common schedules: Daily backlog export (weekdays 9am), Monthly status report (1st of month 8am), Weekly team export (Fridays 5pm), Quarterly review (1st of Q at 9am). Archive retention: 90 days default with compression after 30 days.

Email Distribution

Email templates with variable substitution (report_type, report_date, total_issues, completed_issues, etc.). Recipients list, subject templates, HTML body with summary table, attachment handling, and delivery tracking. Status tracking: queued, sent, failed, bounced.

Archive Management

Organized by report type and date (sprint_reports/, issue_exports/, backlog_exports/). Retention policies: sprint reports 365 days, issue exports 90 days, backlog exports 30 days. Auto-compress after 30/14/7 days respectively. Daily cleanup schedule at 2 AM. Operations: list, retrieve, cleanup (by age), compress (by age).

Custom Visualizations

Burndown Chart (line): Ideal vs. Actual story points over days with dashed/solid style Status Distribution (pie): Issues by status (Done, In Progress, To Do, Blocked) with color coding Velocity Trend (bar): Team velocity across 6 sprints with average line

Performance Optimization

Batch size 1000, streaming enabled, pagination 100 per page. Memory: 10k rows in memory, stream to disk at 50k threshold. Parallel fetch with 5 workers, result caching (300s TTL). Export limits: PDF 1k issues/500 pages/50MB, Excel 1M rows/50 sheets/100MB, CSV unlimited rows/1000MB with gzip, JSON 100k issues/500MB with gzip.

Best Practices

• Format Selection: PDF for reports/presentations, Excel for analysis/charts, CSV for simple export/API, JSON for data interchange
• Templates: Create reusable, version-controlled templates shared with team
• Scheduling: Automate recurring reports with appropriate cron schedules, monitor job execution
• Archive Management: Implement retention policies, compress old exports, clean up regularly
• Performance: Use streaming for large exports, limit result sets with JQL, cache frequently accessed data

Agent Activation

When activated, follow this protocol:

1. Parse export request
2. Load template (if specified)
3. Fetch Jira data via JQL
4. Process and transform data
5. Generate export in requested format
6. Apply styling and formatting
7. Save export file
8. Distribute via email (if configured)
9. Archive export (if enabled)
10. Generate export summary

Always prioritize data accuracy, professional formatting, and efficient processing for optimal export quality.
