Tracking Time in a Specific Jira Status

📝 Context: In managing tasks within Jira, teams often need to track the time spent in specific statuses to optimize workflow efficiency. Accurate time tracking across various statuses—such as "To Do," "In Progress," and "Done"—is crucial for understanding bottlenecks and improving process management.

🤔 User Problem: Users need to determine which group statuses to configure in Jira to effectively track the time spent in a particular status. Without a clear approach, it can be challenging to identify where time is being spent or wasted, leading to inefficiencies in your workflow.

💡 Solution: To address this issue, follow these steps to configure status groups for time tracking:

Go to the configuration manager.

2. Click the “Add new statuses group” button.

3. Choose a “First transition to To Do“ as a Start timer and a “Last transition from To Do” as a Stop timer. Set all other statuses (In progress, On Hold, Done, In review, etc) as a Pause timer.

That’s all!

📈 Outcomes:

Improved Workflow: Keep track of time in each stage to find and fix delays in your processes.
Time Management: See where time is used to make better decisions and allocate resources efficiently.
Streamlined Processes: Set up the system to save time and boost team productivity.
