Create a project

We don't create a new project very often. Please let Howard, Johnny or Mark do it if you want to create a new one. They know how to set up the correct workflow/issue screen schema to the project.

Create an issue

Everyone working on Map Suite needs to create a new task if either of the following requirement is met:

Create a New Issue Screen

Everyone has the permission to create an issue, do please create it within the correct project.

Fill the other fields if needed, then click Create button to create the issue.

Issue Work Flow

A JIRA workflow is the set of statuses and transitions that an issue goes through during its life cycle. 500*500

Backlog

Backlog is where the initial task should be. We could put any idea in this column. It is like a bucket, you can throw anything you think it is worth to do.

TO DO/Re Open

TODO is a filtered tasks we decide to work with. Your team leader decides what tasks should be in this column.

In Progress

In Progress holds all the tasks that are in progress. Technically, one guy must have only one task in this column. You cannot work on two issues at the same time right? If yes, please re-consider if the task is created proper.

In Review

Once your task is complete from In Progress column, it is not mean this task is done. In another word, you need to ask your leader or the task assigner to review and verify if this is what he wants. In this step, your task will have two directions to go.

Resolved
