Introduction
Workflows are one of the core and most powerful features in JIRA. They control how is-
sues in JIRA move from one stage to another as they are being worked on, often passing
from one assignee to another. For this reason, workflows can be thought of as the life cycle
of issues.
Unlike many other systems, JIRA allows you to create your own workflows to resemble
the work processes you may already have in your organization. This is a good example of
how JIRA is able to adapt to your needs without having you change the way you work.
In this chapter, we will learn about not only how to create workflows with the new work-
flow designer, but also how to use workflow components, such as conditions and validat-
ors, to add additional behavior to your workflows. We will also look at the many different
add-ons that are available to expand the possibilities of what you can do with workflows.
