Overview

If you have just landed in this documentation, this is the right place to begin. You do not need a technical background to get value from these pages.

Second Chance is a free app for Jira Service Management that gives every submitted request one more chance at self-service. It surfaces relevant knowledge after the request is raised, shows agents why each article matched, can show customers the same matches while they wait, and tells admins how much real ticket demand is already covered by the knowledge base.

This section explains what that means before you install anything.

How it works A plain-language walk through the scoring, so you can trust the number on the screen. No AI, no black box.

Read them in order. They take about six minutes combined.
