I'm trying to configure Jira to allow a development scrum team, then switch to deployment workflow. I want the issues to reach the done column on the development board, and the issue burn-down to count. I then want the issue to appear on a second board for testing. That board we drag the issues across into deployment.
How would I go about in doing this? I'm getting comfortable in the workflow screen and I don't have anything super complicated. I just want a burndown, then separate the the testing and deployment from development.
I also considered creating a new type of issue that is specifically used for testing and deployment. I would then add that new issue to the first column of the next board.
Any feedback will be very helpful.
JIRA thinks of an issue as done if it has a resolution set (e.g. "fixed"). It doesn't matter if there are more statuses ahead in the workflow.
As an example, you could have the following workflow:
To Do -> In Progress -> Done -> Ready for Release -> Released
Then you could add the resolution screen to the transition from In Progress to Done.
That way the issue transitions to Done and gets a resolution set. It counts against the burndown chart and would be shown as crossed out in the backlog view.
But you would still be able to carry on transitioning from Done to Ready for Release.
You can also use two boards and only map the statuses you want to see on the two boards.
For example, board 1:
To Do, In Progress, Done
And board 2:
Done, Ready for Release, Released
