Value Drivers document cannot be automated from Jira - fills a gap Jira lacks
Situation
Clarified that the Value Drivers Release Plan document cannot be automated from Jira. The document was created specifically to fill a gap in Jira - linking engineering deliverables to GTM deliverables around WHY certain work is being done. Since Jira does not contain this linkage data, automating from Jira would just reproduce the gap.
Reasoning
The document exists because of a structural gap in Jira. Jira tracks what engineering is building and what GTM is doing, but does not link them together around the strategic why. The document was created to capture that missing context. Automating from Jira is logically impossible - you cannot extract data that does not exist in the source system. The three-lane structure reflects this: upper lane captures the why (cannot come from Jira), middle lane is static strategic content, lower lane can be Jira-driven.
Additional Context
Discussion in group Slack with Baek, Max, Sarah, Mnovicio about document automation possibilities. Also discussed sending release plan chart to a mailing list per Bjorn.

The document is a tool. Its not a report to represent whats in Jira. Its not a report. It DRIVES whats in Jira for the upper lane.

And my point is that it cannot be automated by what is in Jira. By definition
Outcome
System stood up where Value Driver map is a tool, not a report, that can be used to influence Jira. Pete was right. :)
