After project receives green light it can be put into Jira.
First determine which account the task or project will go into. This is usually related to who is final approver or “owner” of project and where funding comes from. If project does not fit into this mold, “Marketing” or “CDA.org” may be the appropriate account name.
Click the blue “Create” button at top of any Jira page.
Select the project type. This will usually be the same as the account type.
Next select an “Issue Type.” If this is a large work effort (a project or multiple tasks), select “Epic.”
If this is a single, simple task, select either “Task” or one of the specific issue types (Article, Social Media post, Asset, Website Update, etc.)
Make sure to select the appropriate “Account” for the task or project as well
Click “Create” when you have added appropriate information.
Epics
You will need to add your actual tasks before people can begin work.
Tasks
If your task is associated with an ongoing project, you will need to link it to an epic through the “Epic Link” field.
You can add sub-tasks (smaller associated work efforts) as well.
