Consequences of Migrating to New JIRA Flow
Each issue type in the JIRA process is controlled by a set of workflows. In order to migrate to the new JIRA flow, all current issues must be migrated to the new versions of these workflows.
All issue statuses must also be migrated to their counterpart in the JIRA flow.
It is important to mention that not all issue types and all kinds of JIRA workflows have been utilized by all customers, so some issues types or workflows may not have been available to you.
Workflow Migration
Currently all main tasks – change requests, bugs and bugs (non-production) – utilize the CDRator Main task workflow. This workflow will be substituted by the new main flow; the CDRator Workflow Main-Task 4.1 workflow.
- The sub task flow,
CDRator Development Workflow, will be substituted by theCDRator Workflow Sub-Task 4.1workflow. - The QA flow,
CDRator QA Workflow, will be substituted by theCDRator Workflow Sub-Task 4.1workflow. - The Questions flow,
CDRator Jira 2.0, will be substituted by theCDRator Open/Closed 1.0workflow.
Migration of Main Workflow
The following table gives an overview of which workflow states map to each other in the new and old workflow.
Current state | New state | Migration comment |
|---|---|---|
Open | Open | - |
Analyzing | Analyzing | - |
Ready for processing | Ready for processing | - |
In progress | In progress | - |
In QA | In QA | - |
In review | In progress | This in review state has been removed and issues in review will be converted to be in progress with the review flag not set |
Resolved | Resolved | - |
Delivered | Closed | When an issue is delivered to the customer, it is considered closed. |
Closed | Closed | When a resolved issue is accepted or rejected the state will be set to closed. |
Reopened | Open | Instead of reopening a task, a clone must be created. |
On hold | On hold | - |
Waiting | On hold | As that Waiting state has been substituted by On hold this state be migrated to that state |
Migration of Sub-Task Workflow
The following table gives an overview of which workflow states map to each other in the new and old workflow.
Current state | New state | Migration comment |
|---|---|---|
Analyzing | Open | As the analysis is handled as part of the main task, this state is migrated to open. |
Ready for processing | Ready for processing | - |
In progress | In progress | - |
In review | In progress | This in review state has been removed and issues in review will be converted to be in progress with the review flag not set |
Closed | Closed | When a resolved issue is accepted or rejected the state will be set to closed. |
Migration of CDRator QA Workflow
The following table gives an overview of which workflow states map to each other in the new and old workflow.
Current state | New state | Migration comment |
|---|---|---|
Analyzing | Open | As the analysis is handled as part of the main task, this state is migrated to open. |
Ready for processing | Ready for processing | - |
In progress | In progress | - |
In review | Ready for QA | When the task have been handled by product, it is up to QA to verify that the issue have been addressed, so it will go back to QA using the Ready for QA status. |
Closed | Closed | When a resolved issue is accepted or rejected the state will be set to closed. |
Migration of CDRator JIRA 2.0 Workflow
The following table gives an overview of which workflow states map to each other in the new and old workflow.
This new flow, the CDRator Open/Closed 1.0 workflow, is a simple workflow, as the issue type using it does not require the same states as the main tasks.
Current state | New state | Migration comment |
|---|---|---|
Open | Open | - |
Analyzing | Open | Considered open. |
Ready for Processing | Open | Considered open. |
In Progress | Open | Considered open. |
In review | Open | Considered open. |
Resolved | Open | Considered open. |
In QA | Open | Considered open. |
On Hold | Open | Considered open. |
Delivered | Closed | This state is obsolete, as tasks using this workflow do not follow the normal deployment procedure. |
Closed | Closed | - |
Waiting | Open | Considered open. |
Reopened | Open | Considered open. |
Migration of Issue Types
Change Requests
Change requests will still be change request and subtasks will remain subtasks. Only their respective JIRA workflows will change.
Bugs
Currently there are two kinds of bugs: production bugs and non-production bugs.
The non-production bugs will be omitted and instead the environment flag has been made mandatory.
All Bugs (non-production) issue types will be migrated to Bugs with their environment set to Test.
Other Issue Types
The issue type Question will be substituted by a new issue type: Customer request.
The issue type QA will be substituted by a new issues type: Bug subtask.
