Hi,
in one of my projects we have the use case that we use two different workflows depending on the issue type. In future we want to use the JIRA Agile Scrum board for our team. Now I am wondering how to map my worklow states from to different workflows in my scrum board without adding a new column for each status.
Hello Natalie,
A JIRA Agile column can contain one or more workflow statuses associated. These statuses could come from different workflows as well.
This approach allows you to define macro statuses (JIRA Agile column) common to one or more statuses for a specific workflow or through different workflows.
Hope this helps,
Fabio
That does not work. An issue has a workflow, that's it. It doesn't change between workflows. So, while you can define a new workflow and apply it to issue types, there's no logical link between the first workflow and the second.
issue-1 uses workflow-1 and issue-2 uses workflow-2. That's it.
I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for here. Sounds like you need to consider sub-tasks or having a workflow that includes your test steps properly.
Hello, I would like to ask one question related to the above. e.g. there is one workflow that relates to development team and for testing, we need to define new workflow..so from one state of development workflow say "In Test" , can we map this state in another workflow designed for testing and based upon next transitions of testing workflow, it could update the state in development related workflow? Look forward to an urgent respone.
let me explain this further, e.g. development workflow starts from To Do, In Dev , In Test and Done. When any story / sub task is in test , I want to create another workflow that testing team follows. for testing team starting point is all those issues placed in "In Test" state and from that point they will start verification which either will be resolved as per the requirement or there will be a Bug in it. Testing team will create new bug and so forth continuing the workflow, once bug is fixed, that development item will be closed / reopened. Pl let me know if you need further detail.
For JIRA board you can have multiple workflows associated. Also one column can serve for several different statuses. Board is just a visual representation of the underlying workflow(s). What you're searching for here is to have a proper statuses mapped to columns you have on your board. This way you can move issues arround respectfuly to the workflows they are associated to. Try this:
Click the Columns tab.
Drag a status from the Unmapped column on the left to the appropriate column you wish to use.
Note, all statuses configured in the JIRA server are available from the board Configuration page. However, some statuses (in particular, custom statuses) may not be available for issues on your board if the JIRA workflows used by these issues do not utilize those statuses
