YakShaver.ai – using AI to create the perfect task, PBI or work item in 30 seconds

Back when Scott Hanselman was a Microsoft RD, we got into a long conversation about ‘Shaving the Yak’. Yak shaving is when you get sidetracked by a series of small tasks that you spot along the way while trying to accomplish your main goal. I think most developers find it easy to fall down rabbit holes as they discover bugs along the way.

As developers, we come across this a lot, where a straightforward task unexpectedly spirals into a complex chain of semi-related or unrelated issues. It slows us down a lot and can be frustrating. It also fixes a lot of bugs along the way. In the perfect world, the reporting of the issue would be second, so you can stay on task.

Enter YakShaver.

At SSW, we’ve experienced this problem firsthand thousands of times and developed an awesome AI tool to mitigate it: YakShaver.

Read on to see how YakShaver does awesome bug reports in seconds
