Jira Work Management for Business Teams

By: John Funk

Overview of this book

Jira Work Management (JWM) is the newest project management tool from Atlassian, replacing Atlassian's previous product, Jira Core Cloud. While Jira Software focuses on development groups, JWM is specifically targeted toward business teams in your organization, such as human resources, accounting, legal, and marketing, enabling these functional groups to manage and enhance their work, as well as stay connected with their company's developers and other technical groups. This book helps you to explore Jira project templates and work creation and guides you in modifying a board, workflow, and associated schemes. Jira Work Management for Business Teams takes a hands-on approach to JWM implementation and associated processes that will help you get up and running with Jira and make you productive in no time. As you explore the toolset, you'll find out how to create reports, forms, and dashboards. The book also shows you how to manage screens, field layouts, and administer your JWM projects effectively. Finally, you'll get to grips with the basics of creating automation rules and the most popular use cases. By the end of this Jira book, you'll be able to build and manage your own Jira Work Management projects and make basic project-related adjustments to achieve optimal productivity.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned what automation in JWM is and how it can help us extend the power of JWM projects to increase productivity in our work. We learned the different components of an automation rule, how to quickly create rules from scratch, and how to use existing automation rule templates. Then, we became familiar with some common automation use cases that apply to many JWM projects and how we can replicate those rules in our own Jira instance.

With these new skills, you will be able to save time by letting automation take care of repetitive tasks and mundane work. By auto-assigning work or using auto-transitions for issue transitions, you and your coworkers will stay up to date with the status of your project.

I sincerely hope you have enjoyed your journey through this book. Keep in mind that the JWM product is still a work in progress and many new and exciting features will continue to be added in the future.
