Workflow for cutover activities

Rahul Maheshwary (PRAIRIE CONSULTING)

I am looking to create a workflow (visual) of all cutover activities and their status. Also once an activity is completed, the person who owns the next in line activity will be alerted.

Does jira has such templates and capabilities?

 

Thanks

One way to solution managing cutover activities is to:

• filter your cutover plan into Plans/Advanced Roadmaps, for visualization.
• Use custom date/time fields to provide more granularity in scheduling than date fields allow.
• Use linked issues to create dependencies between your issues, such as "has to be done after". 
• Set up a filter subscription which is sent every 15 minutes (only if issues fit the filter) with the following JQL query: issueFunction in hasLinks("has to be done after") and statusCategory = "To Do" and assignee = currentUser() and issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("statusCategory = Done", "has to be done before") and not issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("statusCategory != Done", "has to be done before")
  • The above query uses ScriptRunner issuefunctions. If you don't have ScriptRunner, you can issueLinkType, but it gives both the inward and outward direction, so it will also pull some irrelevant results.
