## Goals and Proposal <a href="#id-concept-and-motivation-motivationandgoals" id="id-concept-and-motivation-motivationandgoals"></a>

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**                                              | **Problem**                                                                       | **Outcome**                                                                                                                                                  |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| <p><strong>Education - for Newcomers</strong><br></p> | Helps (new) users to quickly catch up with (new) Jira Projects.                   | <ul><li>Enthusiastic users</li><li>Increased productivity</li><li>Easier communication with Administrators</li></ul>                                         |
| **Control - for Admins**                              | Helps Jira administrators to quickly validate Project Schemes and other Settings. | <ul><li>Less administrative mistakes</li><li>Easier cooperation for instances with multiple Administrators</li><li>Easier communication with Users</li></ul> |
| **Process Documentation - for Audits**                | Creates and keeps Project Configuration Documentation updated                     | <ul><li>Saves time and effort</li><li>Keeps documentation up-to-date</li><li>Easy to understand format</li></ul>                                             |

## Concept <a href="#id-concept-and-motivation-concept" id="id-concept-and-motivation-concept"></a>

To reach our goals, we created an app that provides tons of information not only for **Jira administrators** but for the **average user** as well. To make this happen, we've made all information accessible for users with the [Glass View permission](https://docs.meta-inf.hu/glass-documentation/user-guides/administration-guide/2-granting-permission).

With Glass Project Documentation Administrators can "open" most of the projects for a wide range of users, while still keeping **data-sensitive projects** hidden via Permission Schemes.
