Workflows - best practice

[Riedl-Taras]

Hello. We have multiple ongoing projects - one per software tool we develop. The list is pretty constant.

It is first time I installed Jira. I created projects and then realized that I want to change workflows for all projects. I want all projects to use the same workflow.

I could not find such feature in Jira, tried to look on few plugins, but they are outdated or do something else.

Is it possible to have one workflow for multiple projects? If yes, how can I make bulk change of all my project workflows?

Thanks.

Hi @Riedl-Taras

If you want ot have one workflow for multiple projects then follow the below steps.

1. Create the workflow.

2. Create workflow scheme.

3. Add the workflow to Workflow scheme.

4. Associate the workflow scheme to all the projects that you want to use the same workflow.

Hi @Riedl-Taras,

It is possible to have one workflow for multiple projects.

You can have multiple projects share their configurations for issue types, workflows, screens, fields, etc. 

If you want all projects use the same workflow, create a workflow scheme and link the required workflow/s to the scheme. All you need to do then is swap your projects' current workflow scheme with the one you have just created. 

Read the in-depth documentation on project configuration as this will help you understand the potential configurations of a JIRA project.

Hope this helps
