Statuses in Jira, how to analyze them which can be combined or removed.

[Anuradha Yadav]

Hi,

Any suggestions/steps how we can combine unused statuses? In order to have solid list of statuses to be used widely and commonly.

Thanks Piyus,

I have like these status for done:

• Resolved

  Rejected

  Done

  Close

  Cancelled

  Acceptance test done

  Systemtest done

  Freezed

  Postponed

  Verified

  Reopen

  Deployed successfully

  QA passed

  Implemented

Probably I sense you have those statuses for DONE type of Status. 

So here, a better way to deal with such would be USAGE OF RESOLUTION field in the issue type closure transition.

The general status would be for DONE state could be:

• Resolved
• Done
• Closed
   

Per my sharing thought - below should resemble:

• Rejected - Can act as Resolution done than Status
• Close - Should be CLOSED status
• Cancelled -  Can be act as Resolution done than Status
• Acceptance test done -  Can be act as Resolution done than Status OR A status based on project process
• System test done - Can be act as Resolution done than Status OR A status based on project process
• Freezed - In Progress status category than Done status category
• Postponed - In Progress status category than Done status category
• Verified - In-Progress OR To-Do category
• Reopen - To-Do category
• Deployed successfully - Done Status OR To-Do based on project process
• QA passed - In-Progress type category
• Implemented - In-Progress type category prior to Done/resolved type

I hope above you solve in conception way!
