JIRA End-to-End Program Management

How to manage a product end to end using JIRA

Product and Program Management balances the responsibilities of WHAT are we building and HOW will we manage the implementation.

In order to be successful, it is imperative to have a framework that allows everyone to clearly see what we are building, why we’re building it, and the status of any given item.

Below is a framework summary I have developed for an enterprise level program with multiple products and +100 engineers. It enables anyone, at any time, the capability to point to any requirement and know the status, accountability and direction using JIRA.

Why is this important? Strategic decisions and trade-offs need to be made with the entire scope in mind. This helps partners see the forest through the trees, reduce risk, reduce conflicts, and empower decision individuals.

There are additional scalable processes I may cover in future posts such as, in-take of requirements, JIRA fields and definitions, managing new client engagements, allowing clients to contribute to our code, dependencies, defects, definition of ready/done, deployment standards, and testing. Most of those tasks would flow through the framework below.
