Acquisitions - Jira Hints

What should I do before I start working on a Story/Bug

Make sure the requirements and acceptance criteria are clearly expressed and there are no unanswered questions
Make sure the estimation in story points is added to a Story/Bug;
- Note: estimate should be added to a Story/Bug itself and should include the effort of related sub-tasks if any. Estimates should not be added to sub-tasks as they won't be added to Velocity.
Populate Development Team field to indicate the correct team:
- Stacks
- EBSCO - FSE
- Thunderjet
Fill out Tester Assignee field:
- Dennis Bridges for UI Stories/Bugs
- Craig McNally for Back-end Stories/Bugs
Fill out Fix version(s) field:
- Select Unreleased Fix Version from the dropdown
- Contact your SM if you are not sure what to select
Make sure the work on a Story/Bug is not blocked/dependent and it conform to the Definition of Ready
Make sure a Story/Bug is added to an active sprint (ACQ Sprint [XX])
Assign a Story/Bug to you
Make sure you have enough time to complete an additional Story/Bug by the end of current sprint before adding it to an active sprint
Move a Story/Bug to In Progress as soon as you start working on it
Ensure that the Story/Bug has links to an appropriate epic, feature, and to any related stories which might provide additional/helpful context.
- Note: Contact the PO and/or tech lead if you need help choosing an epic/feature
- Note: It may be acceptable to omit epic/feature links on some bugs, but they should be provided when applicable

What should I do while working on a Story/Bug

Communicate to the team and PO in case you find out that estimate for the story is not valid any longer and get it updated
- Note: try to avoid tweaking the original estimate during the sprint as it is considered as scope change
Update the status of a Story/Bug accordingly:
- In Progress - work in progress
- Blocked - work is blocked
- In Code Review - PR is created and code review is in progress
- In Review - PR is merged and pending deployment
In case a Story/Bug is moved to Blocked status, link corresponding blocker or indicate the reason in comments (if not blocked with some specific story)
@Tag other people in comments if you need some feedback
Add comments in case there was some additional valuable info found out while development or in case there were some important discussions on the appropriate solution - it can help other people to better understand what was done in scope of a Story/Bug.
Make sure PR is available in a Story/Bug and PR description is added
Merge PR when all comments are fixed and there are at least two approves from other developers
Make sure your updates are working as expected on test env

What should I do before I assign a Story/Bug to PO for review

Make sure the estimation in story points is added to a Story/Bug
Make sure Development Team field is populated
Make sure Tester Assignee field is populated
Make sure Fix version(s) field is filled out
Make sure a Story/Bug is added to an active sprint (ACQ Sprint [XX])
Re-assign a Story/Bug if updates are available for review on test env:
- Dennis Bridges for UI Stories/Bugs
- Craig McNally for Back-end Stories/Bugs
