Jira Workflows: Convert tasks into systematic and transparent procedures

If measures for quality assurance and both internal and customer projects don’t run ideally and thus inefficiently, it is often due to a lack of established and binding workflows in task management. This article focuses on the use of JIRA and shows how JIRA can be used to convert all kinds of tasks into systematic and transparent procedures with the help of prototypical workflows. //SEIBERT/MEDIA is happy to provide you a JIRA test instance free of charge and without commitment, so you can learn about the following workflows and the diverse functions of JIRA.

Workflow with quality assurance, cost estimation and approval

workflow_with_qa_cost_estimate_authorisationb

  • projects with release-planning
  • internal projects with budget control

Features:

  • estimation is required
  • assignee has to be ascribed
  • quality assurance

Workflow with double quality assurance, cost estimation and approval

workflow_with_2x_qa_cost_estimate_authorisation

Use cases:

  • projects with release-planning
  • internal projects with budget control
  • change management of fixed price projects

Procedure:

  1. The request for amendment has to be entered via the interface or sent via e-mail.
  2. The issue is analysed and estimated. You approve the issue as client.
  3. We ascribe the issue to an assignee and handle it.
  4. The results are checked and approved by our staff responsible for QA.
  5. You authorize the successful modification.
  6. The issue is done and gets invoiced.

With the help of these workflows, it is possible to convert internal and external tasks from bug fixing to complex work into standard procedures. The task management with JIRA ensures not only transparency and status visibility but also contributes to the efficient coordination of customer projects and the creation of quality assured results.
