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.

We began the process of adding screens to our project by simply creating the screen. However, the screen cannot be directly attached to the project to begin using it. First, it must be added to a screen scheme. As we saw in Chapter 4, Modifying the Board, Workflow, and Associated Schemes, a scheme can be thought of as a bucket holding various items. Therefore, a screen scheme would be a scheme consisting of multiple screens.

So, our STAFF: Project Management screen scheme contains the Create Issue Screen and the Edit/View Issue Screen, as we saw in Figure 7.10.

Figure 7.16 shows the related screen components accessed from the Settings | Issues path. Because multiple issue types can be connected to a project and because each issue type can have a separate screen scheme associated with it, these are all connected in a second scheme called the issue type screen scheme.
