Changes in the customizations


We discussed various use cases that can be implemented in JIRA. When you start using JIRA for the first time, you can never be exactly sure about the possible changes that may be required in these customizations. JIRA administrators can always make modifications in the schemes to accommodate further changes. However, it is always a good thing to set up a change control board in your company and check for the possible impact of these changes. We will discuss this in detail in Chapter 14, JIRA Best Practices.
