JIRA Expert Task List

Thank you for being our JIRA expert! As our team’s JIRA expert you are in good company as JIRA is a tool which is used by professional engineers all over the world. As you learn about JIRA by following the steps below, be sure you ask for help if you need it, your coaches can provide expert guidance.

  • Go into the ‘board view’ to see our tasks on the JIRA board
  • You should now see a list of tasks which looks like the picture below. Notice there are four columns. These represent the what is going on with each task. Tasks normally start out on the left in the “idea” column. They can then move to the “to do” column when the team decides to work on it. When it is actively being worked on it goes into the “in progress column.” When a task is done, it goes into the “done” column.
  • Let’s add a new task by clicking ‘create.’ This will pop up a box and you can enter “Pick a team name” as the task.
  • After creating the task, try moving it to the “to do” column by simply clicking and dragging it to the next column indicating the team will work on it.
  • That’s all for now! You now know the basics of how our team will use JIRA this season. We’ll create additional tasks as we work on our robot.
