This book is the logical and natural "extra limb" for any Atlassian server administrator serious about their job supporting JIRA end users in a corporation. Sure, you can "get by" winging it day by day, and many do. But as many also learn, with JIRA, ramifications for your configuration decisions matter well beyond the day you make them. Similarly, unraveling early-on poor decisions can be both painful and cumbersome. This book will help you make good and right JIRA configuration decisions out the gate, and simultaneously bring your JIRA skill set up a whole new level. Bonus: your end users and boss(es) will thank you for it.(This is Mr. Li's 3rd book on JIRA; he's worked with the platform for 8+years in some of the largest/most complex corporate JIRA installations in the world.)

JIRA, a software that has its roots in the software development and the bug tracking has a growing popularity even outside of those industries. The fact that JIRA is more like a very versatile framework than a static standard software for managing issues will become clear once more in this bookThe author doesn't limit himself to providing a plain guide that only states the obvious ways of customizations which the user interface offers, but brings in his years of experience to deliver a full-fledged administration guide with extraordinary depth:Apart from general things like the installation, setting up own issues types, workflows, field configurations et al. he picks up common snitches and minor issues and provides practical solutions in form of Velocity-, Groovy- or JavaScript-Code to adjust the appearance, automatize field input or run content checks in screens. Yet this book isn't only dedicated to "hardcore" admins either, as even starters will learn a lot on best practices before or even during setting up and getting familiar with JIRA.Therefor I can absolutely recommend this book to fresh and experienced JIRA admins alike, using it myself to pick up some new tricks in terms of scripting and "under the hood" tweaking.

When the book says Jira is an issue tracking package for a corporate environment, in practice for some of you, this will mean handling complaints and bugs. In the computing community, bug tracking is a common necessity for any firm putting out software.The book is directed towards a system administrator of Jira. There is much flexibility built into what you can make for your users. A form that a user fills out can have fields that you define as mandatory or not. The former means the user must fill out a field. You should probably exercise care about how many such fields you assign this status. Tempting after all to define all fields as mandatory. But that can deter some users from reporting an issue. While this might be frustrating from your standpoint, you have to make a tradeoff between ease of reporting and the comprehensiveness of those reports.Jira is much more than form filling. One chapter delves into how you can define a workflow. Using an simple graphical interface to build a directed graph. A finite state machine, for those readers with the appropriate background. This network machine can then be used by your users in a project. The transitions between nodes [states] of the network can themselves have intermediate screens where users can fill in extra data or get information.If indeed you want to use Jira for software development, then chapter 7 is germane. It shows how to integrate it with github, bitbucket and other 3rd party packages and websites. As you may know, several of these sites are now often used by programmers to archive their code in a globally accessible manner. A key paradigm change in the programming field. Jira lets you accomodate your users if they use these websites.
