Creating the best workflow diagram

[David Utteridge]

I'm re-configuring our workflow diagrams. We're fairly new to JIRA and we've always used a 'top to bottom' approach. For example:

To Do
   II
   V
In Progress
   II
   V
Done

There are a few more statuses within there but that hopefully gives you an idea of what I mean.

I wondered if anybody had had any success with a different approach to workflows.

At the end of the day, it all comes back to what your team prefers, but I'd like to play about with some concepts that are already successful elsewhere.

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

I believe that the best way to check if changes in the workflow will work correctly for your business is to create a test project. Using a project that will not be on production will help you because you can create a brand new workflow that will not affect any other project or issues.
Here are some documentation that may help you:

- JIRA Software : Configuring workflows
- Using workflows for fun & profit
- Working with workflows

If you face any issue, please let us know.

Regards,
Angélica
