How to set up stages, phases & status workflow ?

[Anusha Sundararajan]

I have a requirement to set up Features / customer issue-type to have different stages like opportunity identification , Pre-development , Development , Post-development with different phases for each of those stages . Each of those phases will have status like - To-do, In-progress, completed . How do Implement this in an effective fashion ?

Hi @Anusha Sundararajan , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your question.

My suggestion would be to create a workflow for the Features issue type in Jira with the different phases / statuses you listed, like this (which I did in a team-managed project in my demo instance just to show you)

Then, for each status of the Feature, you can create one or multiple Sub-tasks, which have their own workflow of To do / In Progress / Done to track the activity that is done in each of the statuses / phases of the Feature. You could use an Automation to do this if you wanted.

What do you think? Would this meet your requirement? Do you have any questions or feedback? If so, let me know.

Cheers and good luck!
