Jira Expert
Atlassian Jira expert for creating and managing projects, planning, product discovery, JQL queries, workflows, custom fields, automation, reporting, and all Jira features.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Creating a custom Jira workflow depends on how your team works and what stages your tasks go through. Most teams have something like to-do, in progress, and done, but you might need more nuance—code review, testing, blocked states, that kind of thing. You'd also want to think about who can move a ticket between states and whether you need automations. Do you have a specific process in mind? What does a task look like at each stage for your team, and how many people are involved in moving work forward?
JIRA WORKFLOW SETUP (product development) WORKFLOW STATES Backlog → Selected for Sprint → In Dev → Code Review → Testing → Done → Released AUTOMATIONS (configured) → Selected for Sprint: Auto-assign to dev lead if swimlane = "Backend" → In Dev: Add "Sprint" label; move "Blocked" tickets to separate queue → Code Review: Notify reviewers via Slack; set 24-hr SLA timer → Testing: Create linked test case ticket if missing (block transition) → Done: Auto-update Confluence release notes page → Released: Close ticket; move to archive sprint CUSTOM FIELDS → Swimlane (dropdown): Backend, Frontend, Design, DevOps, QA → Sprint stage (read-only, auto-set): Tracks which sprint owns the work → Blocker reason (text): "Waiting for design approval", "External dependency", etc. → T-shirt size (select): XS, S, M, L, XL (effort estimate) DASHBOARD (real-time) → Sprint capacity (burned hours vs. estimated) → Blocked tickets queue (counts by reason) → Code review SLA (% meeting 24-hr target) → Velocity trend (last 5 sprints) JQL QUERIES (pre-saved) project = PROD AND status = Blocked → morning standup review project = PROD AND Sprint = "Sprint 24" AND status != Done → burndown PERMISSIONS → Only Sprint lead can move to "Released" → Engineers can move their own tickets within Dev → Code Review → Testing → QA owns the "Testing" state GO-LIVE CHECKLIST • Import backlog (CSV, 200 items) • Import last 5 sprints (archive) • Assign swimlane owners • Test blocking automation (intentionally move a ticket, verify blocks)
