Editor's Notes
- JIRA is advanced highly customizable issue tracking system. In JIRA you could customize workflows to any business process and integrate JIRA with existing systems to manage tasks, track activity and ensure you meet your deadlines. You could add as many plug-ins as you need to expand it capabilities. All this makes JIRA a flexible project management tool whether you can track bugs for a single application, managing software development for several products or running countless projects throughout your entire company.
- JIRA consist of a set of Projects. A project component is a logical grouping of issues within a project. Each project may consist of various components (or none), depending on your organization's needs. For example, a software development project could consist of components called 'Documentation', 'Backend', “UI”, 'Email Subsystem’ etc. Any issue can belong to one or multiple components within a project or component may not be selected at all. Versions are points-in-time for a project. They help to schedule and organize releases and sprints. Any issue can belong to one or multiple versions within a project or version may not be selected at all (it will be shown as unresolved by default). Each issue belongs to a project but may not belong to component or version.
- In our Jira / Confluence configuration we have single sing-on login (this mean if you are using one browse to enter to your Jira / Confluence, and currently you are already enter to one of them you don’t need to login to another system will automatically log you in). The Dashboard is the first screen you see when you login to JIRA. - The navigation bar (at the top of the screen) is the same on every screen in JIRA. It contains links which give you quick access to many of JIRA's most useful functions. - The white area of the screen, below the top navigation bar, can be customized to display 'gadgets' showing many different types of information, depending on your areas of interest. Dashboards The JIRA Dashboards is the first screen you see when you log in to JIRA. It can be configured to display many different types of information, depending on your areas of interest. If you are anywhere else in JIRA, you can access your JIRA Dashboards view by clicking the 'Dashboards' link in the top left corner of the JIRA interface. Projects This screen provides a general overview of your project, with a variety of easily accessible reports for your project's issues, builds and source code reviews, from which you can 'dig down' into further detail. Issues JIRA provides a powerful issue search facility. You can search for issues across projects, versions and components using a range of search criteria. If you need to find issues based on time-tracking details, then the standard 'simple search' interface also allows you to search against the work logged on issues. JIRA also makes custom fields available as search criteria, allowing you to refine your searches even further. Agile Link to GreenHopper section, you also could choose one of the view: Planning Board, Task Board, Chart Board, Released Board. Administration In this section you could find information about your project (Name, Project Key, URL, Project Lead, Default Assignee, Operations View and Edit). Click Edit if you want to edit project info or Project Name link to enter to project info tab.
- Dashboard> Tools>Create Dashboard You can now customise your dashboard as follows: Choosing a Dashboard Layout Adding a Gadget Moving a Gadget Removing a Gadget
- You can also share your dashboard pages with other users, as well as adding dashboards shared by other users as favourites. Each dashboard page appears as a separate "tab" on the dashboard. You can view a dashboard page by simply clicking its name in the tab list.
