This project provides you with a template to use for software development. It includes a simple workflow with statuses representing tasks that go through a development and review process. You can later customize this further to suit your team's evolving processes.

Getting started

To create a Software Development project in JIRA, follow these instructions and be sure to select Software Development in Step 3.

  1. Log in as a user with the JIRA Administrators global permission.
  2. Choose Projects > Create Project.
  3. Choose the type of project that you want to create.
  4. Enter the project details. Note, choose the project key carefully, as it is not a simple task to change it after the project is created.
  5. Choose Submit to add the new project.

Issue Types

You get the following issue types:

  • Parent types: Story, Task, New Feature and Bug
  • Sub-task types: Sub-Task

JIRA auto-creates an issue type scheme called <project key>: Software Development issue type scheme.

Software Development project workflow

This is what the project workflow looks like:

Workflow description

The Software Development project workflow operates as follows:

  • Four statuses: To Do, In Progress, In Review and Done
  • Uses the resolution: Done
  • All indicates that you can transition from any status to the associated status

JIRA auto-creates a workflow scheme called <project key>: Software Development workflow scheme.

Workflow transitions

Transitions have the following properties:

  • When the 'Start Progress' or 'Start Review' transition is used the issue gets assigned to the current user.
  • When the 'Reopen and Start Progress' or 'Reopen and start review' transition is used the issue gets assigned to the current user and the resolution field is cleared.
  • When any 'Done' transition occurs the resolution is set to Done.
  • When the 'Reopen' transition occurs the resolution field is cleared.
  • There are no transition screens.
  • No Assignee transition conditions (apart from the permission scheme).
