About this project

Most Jira instances are graveyards because nobody designed them. This project teaches the craft: workflow design, custom-field discipline, board configuration, automation rules, and the org work of actually getting a team to use it. Pick a real team (yours, a friend's, an open-source project). Ship the workflow. Get it adopted for at least 30 days.

Why build this in 2026?

AI cannot design a workflow that fits a specific team. PMs who can are still scarce, and adoption is the unfakeable signal.

What you'll ship

  • Configured Jira instance (publicly viewable or screenshotted)
Workflow diagram
One automation rule that saved real time
Dashboard that the team checks at least weekly
