Configure a Jira transition screen to collect extra information during transitions in a workflow and capture notes in comments when moving an issue to in progress.
Explore how conditions govern Jira transitions, including grouping and user-based rules. Learn to clone workflows and configure statuses like ready for QA and QA in progress, with finish to done.
Explore how transition validators enforce criteria in Jira workflows, including field and date checks, and how to require a comment for done transitions in the qa workflow.
Explore how Jira boards provide flexible, customizable views of work in Scrum and Kanban. Aggregate issues across projects, plan, monitor, and import CSV to populate boards and enable story points.
Discover how JIRA boards organize work using the default WB board, review backlog, active sprints, roadmap, and reports, and switch between multiple boards.
Configure full and mini boards in Jira by adding columns and mapping statuses such as Ready for QA and QA in progress, and group issues by epics with swimlanes.
Explore how the burnup chart tracks sprint progress by completed work, with red scope and green progress lines, and how scope changes separate from progress.
