Jira
Project management tool.
Jira is a popular project management tool from Atlassian. Many teams use Jira to track work to be done as well as bugs to be fixed.
Jira is a highly configurable tool. Depending on your team, you will have many fields associated with a task. The following are examples that I have seen in the past.
Task Size Estimation
I have seen several variants on schemes for sizing tasks. The sizing values should be agreed on by the team. Once a scheme is determined is should be adhered to.
The one I last used is based on T-shirt sizes.
XXS
< 2 hours
XS
< 1 day
S
2-3 days
M
< 1 week
L
2 weeks
XL
Months
Priority
Priority is an indication of when a task should be done.
Most often you will see priorities P1-P4. The bigger the number, the lower the priority.
0
"Drop everything"
An abnormal emergency.
1
High
Required for next release MVP
2
Normal
Requested for the next release.
3
Low
Get to it when we can.
You would never schedule a normal task as a P0; that designation is reserved for emergency bug fixes.
MVP - minimum value proposition.
