JIRA SETUP & IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Objective
To establish a structured and scalable Jira system that ensures efficient task management, clear ownership, and full visibility across development, QA, and UX improvements.
1 – Project Setup
- Project Creation: Create a dedicated Jira project space.
- Access Management: Ensure proper access levels and permissions are configured for all team members.
2 – Issue Type Configuration
To maintain clarity in task categorization, the following issue types will be utilized:
- Epic: High-level features (e.g., Onboarding, Chatbot).
- Story: User-facing features and requirements.
- Task: Technical implementation or backend work.
- Bug: Reporting defects and system issues.
- Improvement: UX/UI enhancements and performance optimizations.
- Spike: Research, investigation, or feasibility studies.
3 – Workflow Design
The lifecycle of a task will follow this structured pipeline:
TODO (Backlog → Selected for Development )→ In Progress → Resolve -> In Review → Done
4 – Field & Data Structure Setup
To ensure data consistency and better reporting, each ticket must include:
- Assignee: The designated task owner.
- Priority: Categorized as Low, Medium, High, or Critical.
- Component: Tagged by department (Frontend, Backend, iOS, Design, or QA).
- Description: Detailed information using a standardized documentation template.

🟣 Spike Template
- Title: [Spike] Research app performance tracking
- Goal: Find ways to measure screen load time.
- Output: Tool recommendations and implementation plan.
🟠 Improvement Template
- Title: [UX] Low button visibility on Home screen
- Problem: Button color is too pale; hard for users to see.

7 – Ticket Template Standardization
Every ticket should ideally cover:
- Context | Goal | Scope
- Technical Notes (Optional)
- Acceptance Criteria
- Test Steps
8 – Github Integration
Every ticket should ideally cover:
- Integrate Jira with GitHub repositories.
- Enforce branch naming conventions using Jira ticket IDs.
- Link pull requests directly to corresponding tasks.
