February 2026: Implemented end-to-end Jira automation for milestone-to-release synchronization in scylladb/scylladb. Delivered an automated process that creates releases in the SMI Jira project when new GitHub milestones are added and updated, and refined milestone add/remove handling to keep Jira Fix Versions in sync. Included SMI in Jira project keys to enable automatic release creation across both projects. Validated in staging/git and STAG Jira environments; addressed integration gaps and closed related issues PM-177 and PM-190. This work reduces manual release coordination, improves cross-system traceability, and accelerates release planning.
