Here we show you how to create and use automation in Jira.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To give you an overview, we have listed some of the most important benefits of using Jira automations below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. process and workflow optimisation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Automation in Jira allows you to reduce or even eliminate manual tasks. This allows your team to concentrate better on the essential tasks and organise workflows more efficiently. Automation promotes process optimisation by automatically executing repeatable steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. teamwork and needs analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, automations are developed together as a team. This offers the opportunity to identify and discuss needs and pain points that Jira automations can address. Close collaboration promotes teamwork and ensures that the automations meet the actual requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internally, for example, we use the rule throughout the project: When a bug is created \u2192 add someone as a watcher. <\/em>If a new bug or error is created as a ticket in a project, this rule automatically adds a designated team member (in our case a lead technician) as an observer. This not only informs them about the bug, but also keeps them up to date on the further processing progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. time savings and increased efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jira automation is a no-code tool that you can use without extensive programming knowledge. This saves you operational time that you can use more effectively elsewhere. Automation completes recurring tasks reliably and quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more efficient release and time management, we have the Jira automation instruction, for example: When new version is released \u2192 move issues to done <\/em>activated. If a release has been carried out, all issues or tickets that have been released are automatically closed or set to \u201ecompleted\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also use the rule that if an issue or ticket remains without an update for several days, a notification is sent to the assignee of the ticket. This automatically asks for feedback on the current status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What needs to be considered:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that it is not always easy to define a rule with all the necessary components that works as planned. The complexity of automations can vary and it can take time and experience to develop optimal solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, different automation rules in Jira can make different sense from project to project. It is important to consider the requirements of each project individually and adapt automations accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For reasons of transparency, you should communicate new automation rules internally before implementing them. This will help to avoid misunderstandings and ensure that your team is aware of the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
