Zones for Teams

Problem Statement

You have several development Teams that work on many products, but not every team works on every product. You have one JIRA Project for every product. In your Issue-triage you want to first specify the team, which should work on an Issue. Sometimes you also want to assign a specific person from a team, but it is painful to remember names and looking them up is too time-consuming. Currently it is a lot of work to create all the Team-Dashboards, which are essentially the same but use different filters, to only show the relevant issues for a team. Changes to your dashboard must be made on every single dashboard.

Solution

Each Team is its own Zone. Zones/Teams can be easily enabled or disabled for a product/JIRA project in your JIRA Project Administration screen. Your users will have two additional customfields on their screen: One to select the Team of an Issue (Zone Field) and one to select a Team member of the currently selected Team as an assignee (Zone User Picker). The celix Zones Plugin allows to create filters, that show only the issues relevant to your teams. Therefore dashboards can be created once and be reused for all teams.

Benefits

Intuitive zones-UI for managing Teams and Teammembers
Selectbox or Autocomplete to select members of an already selected Team
One single personalized dashboard for all developers (reduced maintenance for changes on dashboard or Teams)
