Automatic stale ticket detection
Ordia identifies Jira issues with no code activity, no status change, and no meaningful comment — and surfaces them before the sprint ends.
Context delivered inside Slack
Each flagged ticket includes owner, current status, and how long it has been inactive, so the team can act without opening Jira.
Earlier intervention, less carryover
Teams that catch stale tickets mid-sprint can reassign, descope, or unblock before the issue becomes a sprint failure.

Why Teams Search For This
Search-intent copy that matches real engineering pain.
A stale Jira ticket is a coordination failure waiting to surface. The ticket looks in-progress but nothing is moving — no commits, no comments, no next step. By the time it appears in sprint review, the sprint has already slipped.
01
Jira shows progress that is not real
A ticket stays in-progress indefinitely. Nobody crossed a workflow rule, so nothing fires — but the work quietly stopped three days ago.
02
Aging reports require manual review
Jira has built-in filters for old issues, but those filters live inside Jira. Nobody checks them unless they already know something is wrong.
03
Sprint carryover compounds delivery risk
One stale ticket becomes two, then the sprint carries over, then stakeholders lose confidence in estimates. The root cause was a ticket nobody flagged.
How Ordia Fits
Existing workflow in, clearer execution out.
Inactivity detection across Jira and GitHub
Track ticket age against real development signals — commit activity, PR status, and review progress — not just Jira status fields.
Slack digest with actionable context
Daily summary of inactive tickets with enough context to make a decision without switching tools.
Configurable staleness thresholds
Define what stale means for your team — 24 hours, 48 hours, or longer — based on sprint length and cadence.
FAQ
Questions teams ask before they commit.
How is this different from a Jira aging report?
A Jira aging report shows old tickets inside Jira. Ordia brings the right stale tickets to Slack at the right time, cross-referenced with GitHub activity, so engineers can act without opening another dashboard.
Does it work with Jira Cloud and Jira Server?
Ordia is designed around Jira Cloud, which is where most engineering teams have moved. It connects via OAuth in under two minutes.
What counts as a stale Jira ticket?
An issue with an active status (in-progress, in review, blocked) and no meaningful signals — no commits, no comments, no status changes — for a configurable time period.
