What is JIRA?
Resolution
Fixed, Won't fix, Duplicate, Incomplete, Cannot reproduce
Description
Put all the meat here
Comments
Crucible for communication and documentation
Workflow
Affects Version
This is the version that this issue is prevalent
Fix Version
This is the version where the issue is resolved
Versions may be software releases, but can also be thought
of as deadlines, sprints or ie. meetings
A version should be released when a deadline occurs.
Issues without resolution could either be put back in the
long tail or be moved into a future version
Components
Custom Fields
Limit Context by Project / Issue Type
Reuse fields (use project contexts)
Don't put every custom field in a global context
It clutters the issue navigator
Understand the resolutions field
When an issue has a resolution field set, JIRA considers
it closed. Affects filters and reports.
Set resolution field ONLY when issue is considered
closed
