JIRA status

Overview

POs have discussed an additional JIRA workflow status that indicates that a feature or story requires more discussion with development and has yet to be estimated. The feature/story is not ready for development to start. The new JIRA workflow status will be named In Refinement. Below tables outline proposed JIRA status workflows' changes.

NOTE: Please review filters/dashboards/sprint boards once changes are made.

JIRA status for UXPROD project

Feature JIRA status	When do you set a feature to this status?
Draft	Feature has not been defined. Still very vague. Very little analysis/research has been done. Not ready for development team to review.
In Refinement	Feature is better defined and ready for the development team to review, to create user stories, and to estimate stories. Not ready for development to begin implementation. Feature may need to be further refined. The feature is currently being worked on by team (PO and/or dev).
Open	Feature is ready for development to begin implementation.
Analysis complete	We will no longer use this status. We will sunset with the conclusion of the Lotus release.
In Progress	Feature is in development.
Blocked	Feature is blocked due to a dependency.
