Interraction between departments

Question

Example. I have development, design, marketing, qa, content deps.
I have some issuetypes (issuetype Task, issuetype Content, issuetype Bug, issuetype Marketing Task,issuetype Design).
The life cycle is:
PM creates 4 issuetypes (Task with all info, Content, Design and Marketing Task)
Dev team prepares code in Task, after that content team starts to their issuetype Content, after Content done, design team start to work. And only after all tasks are closed, the marketing department starts work.

How to prevent the case that the department will start work ahead of time?

Hi @antonyneshore

Yeah you would need to use an add-on to either create a new task at the right time or check for the linked issues' status and only allow them to start the progress when their linked issues' are in a particular status. Using ScriptRunner you can add restrictions on the transition.

Jira Misc Workflow Extension already has this condition in place.

Search on the community and you will find plenty of examples.

Hi John, thanks for reply.

Each department works on their board.

Some of deps use kanban and other uses Agile boards with lots of other activities.

One board is not a good idea for me.

But tanks anyway for answer.

Hi Jack, thanks for reply.

1- addon - is good idea.

2- task passed around will not work in my case, cause I have diff issuetypes and my boss will not change whis flow
