Goals and Proposal

With Glass Project Documentation our goal was to solve three crucial problems with Jira Project Configurations:

  • to help new users learn about Jira project settings

  • to give more control to admins in regards to validating settings

  • to provide accurate and summarized information for audits

In the below table we would like to share our proposal with you for achieving these goals:

Goal

Outcome

Education - for Newcomers

Helps (new) users to quickly catch up with (new) Jira Projects.

  • Enthusiastic users

  • Increased productivity

  • Easier communication with Administrators

Control - for Admins

Helps Jira administrators to quickly validate Project Schemes and other Settings.

  • Less administrative mistakes

  • Easier cooperation for instances with multiple Administrators

  • Easier communication with Users

Process Documentation - for Audits

Creates and keeps Project Configuration Documentation updated

  • Saves time and effort

  • Keeps documentation up-to-date

  • Easy to understand format

Concept
