JIRA Issues and Issue Types
In JIRA, an “Issue” is a unit of work that needs to be tracked, such as a bug, feature request, task, or any other type of work item.
Several different issue types in JIRA can be used to categorize and organize work items. Some common issue types include:
- Bug: A problem with the software that needs to be fixed.
- New Feature: A request for a new feature or enhancement to be added to the software.
- Task: A specific piece of work that needs to be completed, such as a software development task or a project management task.
- Epic: A large body of work that can be broken down into smaller tasks and stories.
- Story: A small piece of work that represents a user’s need or requirement.
- Incident: A problem or disruption to a service that needs to be resolved.
JIRA administrators can customize the issue types in their instance of JIRA to match their specific needs and processes. For example, they can add new issue types, rename existing issue types, or change the fields and workflows associated with each issue type.
