How to create simple workflow in JIRA

[Prasad Vaze]

I want to explore if JIRA can be used to create a simple workflow - 

author creates an item /issue ,

reviewer(s) and approver(s) get notified , 

reviewers/approvers put their comments ,

 author edits the item/issue to consensus,

approver approves  and marks ready to publish.

if this can not be natively built in JIRA then Is there JIRA plug-in ?

Hi Prasad,

Definitely JIRA can do that. You can learn how to create the workflow in this way using these 2 links:

I recommend to read carefully the topics regarding Conditions, Triggers, Post Functions and Validators of the workflow's transitions. These are the things that you are searching for.

From an out-of-the-box standpoint, it is possible to configure your workflow in such a way that you have statuses and approvers. There are also many addons discussed in these articles available that provide expanded functionality.
