Due date... 1 for work to be completed and 1 for work to be reviewed

Rob Lazorchak_7cgdqh

We use JIRA to track and review our various documents. (Engineering drawings, test plans, training documents, etc...) 

We are trying to figure out the best way to do the following: 

• Person gets assigned a document to write. 
• Program manager assigns a due date for the document. 
• Once the person writing the document is ready to have it reviewed. 
• They assign it to Peer review and then it goes off to other types of reviews. 

We would like to have a way to show: 

• The person writing the document when the document should be ready for review. 
• When the team conducting the review should have their feedback back to the author so they can make sure all feedback is incorporated into the document by a final due date.

Hello Rob,

For your use-case, I would configure JIRA like this:

- The Assignee of the issue would be the person that will write the documentation, so this information would be clear for the reviewer

- The due date of the issue would be configured with the final date to send the document for reviewing

- If the name of the reviewer is relevant, I would configure a user-picker custom field to add his name to the ticket (name = Reviewer) and another Date picker custom field to add the due date of the reviewing (name = Reviewer Due Date)

- Would create a workflow status Peer Review, that should be executed when the person has finished the document and would change the responsibility of the ticket to the Reviewer. Possibly, I would configure the Reviewer and Reviewer Due Date field in the next transition

- Configure a status Back from Review so the person can dd the proper corrections (if necessary) and send it back to review

- Finally, I would create a third due date (Date picker custom field) to add the date the document should be complete (If necessary).
