Which is the best workflow on Jira for fast pace projects which includes design,dev and testing?

Sankalp Dubey

In a startup, Time is always the most important. We are supposed to build good products but in less time. But quality is often missed when working on fast pace products. 

Please suggest a workflow on Jira which would help maintain and check quality in design, dev and testing phases. Also, recommend Jira automations for smooth ticket journey on jira.

Hi @Sankalp Dubey 

since you mention "startup" and "time is most important", my suggestion is to be agile. This means accept that things change and planning is less important than adapting to changes.

So, you could start with the minimal workflow with states "Todo", "In Process" and "Done" with transition allowed between all states. As I remember, this is the default workflow for Jira Cloud Software projects anyway.

This allows your team to freely find the best way to work without being limited by some predefined workflow that most likely will be not matching what comes.

In some later stages, e.g. after a couple of weeks of working with Jira, there is always the task to review, identify potential improvements and then adapt in the most important or beneficial steps. This could be extending the workflow, but personally, I would be surprised if this is the case.
