Welcome to the testing world.
So previously we have seen how we can use JIRA for bug tracking.
So we have seen different lifecycle.
When a tester is reporting a defect, then developer is working and after that tester is again working.
Now I'll show you how we can use JIRA for task management.
But before moving to the actual usage, first of all, we need to understand what do you mean by task
management?
And this is the feature which is not only used by testers.
It will be used by the complete team, including tester, developer, maybe manager, content writer.
So anybody in the team is going to use JIRA for task management.
Okay, let's take an example.
I'm working as a software tester.
We got some requirement and my lead want to give me some task of test case designing and test case execution.
Previously, we are doing this task management through emails or verbally.
Like as a lead, I'm.
I'm giving a task verbally to my team member.
He will do that.
But now if we have a JIRA we can use it for.
Task management means whatever the task.
I want my team to be complete.
I'll create here in the right self how we can do that.
I'll show you.
But I'm just moving.
Yeah.
So what we can do in the task management, like I can create different type of task.
It could be development task or testing task or maybe any other task.
I can assign these tasks to the different developers or tester.
So both developer and Tester is going to use JIRA for task management.
And what all the advantages we are going to get.
So it will be very easy to track task progress.
So I can see if I have created a task of task is designing and given it to my team member.
And in the same way I have created 50 different tasks and given to the different team members.
Later on I want to check progress of a particular task, so I need not to ask my team member.
I'll just go to the JIRA and check progress over there.
How we can do that.
I'll cover up in the coming sessions in the same way by using this JIRA task management of the JIRA,
we can easily track team progress.
So if Manager want to check how many tasks is created for the team and how many are completed so he
or she will will not have to ask by individual team members.
My manager can go directly to the JIRA and check it over there in the same way they can check progress.
Project progress means if I say I have 1000 tasks, 1000 total tasks for the current project, how many
completed?
So.
So anybody can easily go and check in the JIRA.
So if you are following the JIRA for task management, it will become very easy to work on if you are
working in the small or large size of team.
Now, in the coming lectures, I'll show you how we can use JIRA for task management.
But before going to the actual task management, we must have understanding.
What do you mean by task management?
So here I'm just going to give you a few more examples.
First, I'll give you an example from the testing point of view.
So I'm working as a test lead.
I want my team member to work on test kits, designing test kits, execution, document preparation.
So what I'll do, I'll just create task here in the JIRA and assign it to the different team members
in the same way.
If I say I'm working as a development lead and I want my development team members to work on extremely
designing server side coding API development, so what I can do, I'll just create a task and assign
to the different team members after assignment.
I know that who is working on which task and what all the tasks are completed, what all pending.
So we can easily track through the task management in JIRA.
So in this session we have seen what is task management in next section.
I'll start with how we can create tasks here in JIRA.
That's all we have.
Thanks for watching this video.
