Fable - Sync user stories and requirements between Docs and Jira

Push a button and send user stories in your product spec to Jira. Fable will also keep the spec fresh with any changes made to the tickets on Jira. No more copy + pasting from Docs into Jira, no more stale spec!

Hey Product Hunters! ๐Ÿ‘‹ It's @aravindh_dorai here, along with my cofounder @alex_chumbley. We're so excited to launch the Fable Google Docs Add On. I've been a product manager at large companies and startups, and everywhere I've seen a big gap between defining WHAT to build and planning HOW to build it. PMs need the flexibility of a doc editor like Google Docs, while engineers need the granularity of an issue tracker like Jira. The Fable Google Docs Add On bridges that gap - use it to: - Turn your stories in Docs into Jira tickets with a single click. Stop spending all your time copying and pasting - Keep your spec fresh when changes are made to Jira tickets. Your spec is always the source of truth Would love to hear your feedback in the comments - looking forward to the discussion! P.S. - stay tuned for our web app. It'll sync user stories and requirements to any issue tracker, plus give you two new features: a modern take on the spec editor and a dashboard that tracks progress once the build starts.

I was lucky enough to get an early look at Fable's Google Docs Add-On and it was โœจmagicalโœจ. It made me realize that I won't have to spend as much time creating and managing tickets in JIRA!! I really didn't like the JIRA ticket creation and editing UX (I mean who does!?). There are so many fields and never where I expected them to be. So excited to have more PMs and builders get their hands on this, so that they can spend less time on *project* management and more time on *product* management! Congrats @aravindh_dorai and @alex_chumbley! ๐Ÿš€

Hey Aravindh - It seems like I need this for Word/GitHub issues. Right now my project management is a sprawl between the two, and it is constantly out of sync. Looks really neat!
Aravindh Dorai
@legendaryr3d thank you for this feedback! We definitely plan on supporting Github issues, and will also look into Word APIs to see what's possible.

I've had a chance to play around with Fable for the last couple weeks. Has already saved me thousands of clicks! And preserved my sanity by requiring less of my time in the dungeons of Jira. This is a no-brainer tool to adopt if you're a PM that shifts between Docs to Jira. Thanks to the speed + responsiveness of @aravindh_dorai and @alex_chumbley, it also keeps getting better and better each day!
Dom Wong
Awesome product and team. Great to see you guys ship so quickly. Excited to see what's in store!
Alex Chumbley
@domwong Thanks Dom! Yeah we're moving as fast as we can!
Anthony Emberley
Wow, I've never used Jira before but keeping my specs/PRDs in sync with my project management tool may make me try Jira -- this looks awesome!
Alex Chumbley
Thank you @anthony_emberley - high praise coming from a former PM!
Scott Hanford
Looks awesome guys! Congrats on the launch.
Alex Chumbley
Thanks @scott_hanford! You know you're stuff when it comes to sass so that's high praise!
Sanket Chauhan
I am a fan of this. Jira has a terrible interface, and this is going to be a time-saver to keep all tickets in one central place.
Alex Chumbley
Thanks @sanketchauhan, we completely agree that PM's could use some extra time saves :)
Matthew Busel

Thanks @kashshah_ - Jira is old and clunky but there's a better way

Love this! Specs always get out of date when requirements are changed down the line. Brilliant.
Aravindh Dorai
@joshcpm Thanks Josh, hope to build a version for Pivotal Tracker soon!

Fable is a lifesaver for PMs โ€” highly recommend to anyone writing or managing product specs. The founders are super responsive and the product is only getting better ๐Ÿš€

Kunal Modi
I've spent so much time copying and pasting from into Jira. This is going to save me so much time!
Aravindh Dorai
@kunal_modi Thanks for the feedback Kunal! We've heard that engineers find value in sync'ing their eng specs as well.
Tyler Swartz
This looks really useful, congrats on the launch. What's your business model @aravindh_dorai ?
Aravindh Dorai
@tylerswartz Thanks for the feedback! This add on is free - we're building a paid web app in parallel that allows PMs to organize all the content in a spec, and also provides easy reporting of how the build is going.
