StatusFlowPro™ provides an easy way for project and program managers to automate task dependencies without having to hardcode Jira automations. Dependencies can be set as needed, and when the predecessor task is completed, the specified dependent tasks will be evaluated and transitioned from the backlog status to an active status. The automation takes place entirely within your Jira instance - no data is transmitted to Alteris Edge or any third party.
Reduce Friction and Risk
StatusFlowPro helps keep your projects flowing forward, reducing the risk of unnecessary delays and missed deadlines.
- Determine and create dependencies during project creation
- Automate moving dependent issues out of the backlog and into the working queue
- Reduce the daily clutter for your project managers and stakeholders
- Build dynamic and flexible projects without consuming valuable resources building and re-building rigid automations
Workflow Overview (see the Workflow section below for a more detailed discussion of the StatusFlowPro process)
- Program managers, project managers, users, etc. designate the dependent tasks for a specific task by creating Linked Issues of the types sfp-updates or sfp-is updated by. This linked issue type is unique to StatusFlowPro, and is required for the app automation to function correctly.
- Teammates work on the predecessor task as usual. Once complete, they transition the predecessor issue to any resolved status.
- StatusFlowPro evaluates each linked issue for various criteria (see Evaluation and Automation below) and updates the status of the linked issues as appropriate.
Evaluation and Automation
When an issue is transitioned to the trigger status (usually "Done"), StatusFlowPro performs the following checks:
- Identify Linked Issues: The app reviews all linked issues and checks if any are of the type sfp-updates.
- Evaluate Predecessor Issues: For each linked issue of type sfp-updates, the app verifies if there are other related issues that must also be in a resolved status.
- Transition the Dependent Issue: If all related predecessor issues are resolved, the linked issue is automatically moved from its current status (e.g., "Backlog") to the status specified in the StatusFlowPro Admin Page (e.g., "To Do").
