This project provides you with a quick and easy way to get JIRA up and running for simple issue tracking.

This project is aimed at users who want to track their issues through a simple three-step workflow, while taking advantage of JIRA's other powerful features. Later on, it's easy to extend to other, more complex workflows provided by JIRA.

Getting started

To create a Simple Issue Tracking project in JIRA, follow these instructions and be sure to select Simple Issue Tracking 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 three issue types:

  • Parent types: New Feature, Task
  • Sub-task type: Sub-Task

JIRA auto-creates an issue type scheme called <project key>: Simple Issue Tracking issue type scheme.

Simple Issue project workflow

This is what the project workflow looks like:

Workflow description

The Simple Issue project workflow operates as follows:

  • Three statuses: To Do, In Progress and Done
  • Uses the resolution: Done

JIRA auto-creates a workflow scheme called <project key>: Simple Issue Tracking workflow scheme.

Workflow transitions

Transitions have the following properties:

  • When the 'Start Progress' transition is used the issue gets assigned to the current user.
  • When the 'Reopen and Start Progress' transition is used the issue gets assigned to the current user.
  • 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).
