Jira data mining

Part of my job as a team lead is improving team performance, and the best way to do that is to find bottlenecks and remove them — but first you have to see them. I built a tool that pulls data from the whole company's Jira via its API, analyzes it, and pushes the results to Elasticsearch, with a Kibana dashboard on top for visualization. Once the problems were visible on a chart, removing them was the easy part.
