Jira Administration

Some things I have setup in Jira to make life better for me, with the way we work.


Use Case 1: You should not close a story when sub tasks are not complete

How?

Jira - Workflow - Edit Transition

Condition, before allowing a story to Status Category Done

"All sub-tasks must have one of the following statuses to allow parent issue transitions:" (All done statuses)


Use Case 2: You should not close a story until the blocker or impediment is resolved.

How?

Jira - Workflow - Edit Transition

Condition, before allowing a story to Status Category Done

"Value Field"

The field Flagged will have to be not equal to value '"Impediment"'. Compared as String.


Use Case 3: Set resolution when completing an item.

Why? If no resolution is set some reports and metrics don't calculate correctly.

How?

Jira - Workflow - Edit Transition

Done

Post Function, Status Category = Done

JMWE The value(s) of field Resolution of the current issue will be set to Done (unless the field already has a value). Run as add-on user.

The Epic Status of the issue will be set to Done.

OR

Jira - Workflow - Edit Transition

Will not do (abandoned, not needed, etc.)

Post Function, Status Category = Rejected

JMWE The value(s) of field Resolution of the current issue will be set to Won't Do (unless the field already has a value). Send notification. Run as add-on user.

The Epic Status of the issue will be set to Done.

Use Case 4: Copy settings for sub-tasks that should match parents to save time

Post Function, Status Category = As many as possible

JMWE "Copy field value from parent issue (JMWE add-on)"

  1. The value(s) of field Assignee will be set from the issue's parent Assignee field (unless the field already has a value). Send notification. Run as add-on user.
  2. The value(s) of field Team Name will be set from the issue's parent Team Name field (replacing existing values). Run as add-on user.
  3. The value(s) of field Deliverable will be set from the issue's parent Deliverable field (replacing existing values). Run as add-on user.
  4. The value(s) of field Planned Quarter will be set from the issue's parent Planned Quarter field (replacing existing values). Run as add-on user.

How do I find the Custom Field ID in Jira Cloud?

So you need to find the Custom Field ID in Jira Cloud. Perhaps you need the ID for a custom field to work on soem code, an API call or a script. How do you find it? You can find the ID in the URL when managing custom fields Jira - Settings - Issues - Fields - Custom Fields https://***.atlassian.net/secure/admin/ViewCustomFields.jspa Select "Edit" on the desired custom field .../admin/EditCustomField!default.jspa?id=12802 There you go! It is that number at the end of the URL Alternately, you can use ScriptRunner Jira - Setttings - Add-ons - Script Runner - Script Console and run the following def issueKey = '***-####' def result = get('/rest/api/2/issue/' + issueKey)         .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')         .asObject(Map) if (result.status == 200){     return result.body.fields } else {     return "Failed to find issue: Status: ${result.status} ${result.body}"

When Hiring (Job Posts)

I know this is not about Agile specifically but I wanted to share how I craft Job Posts when hiring, I would love to continue to improve my process. When writing a Job Post I do the following; Have boilerplate about the company itself. Yes, the candidate should dig more but you want them to want to apply and want to research. Describe the Role, where the department fits within the company, what the team/departments purpose is, and what normal activities the job will encompass. Indicate the type of person/passions which would work well List requirements , real requirements, this should be 5 or less, these should be demonstrable items Demonstrable - Upbeat attitude is not easy to demonstrate, for example Always have alternatives to a major! Great technical people can have humanities majors – i.e. use “or equivalent experience” List bonuses/ nice to have /additional items that a candidate would benefit by having Explain the benefits of the company (should be boilerplate tal
