Jira fix versions

Developers, Product Managers, Release and Quality Assurance teams use the Fix Version field for the following purposes:

• Developers:

  • Fix Version field is the one that shows up on individual tickets in the backlog view.

  • For Story tickets, the Fix Version is used for soft guidelines for what is targeted for what release.

  • For Bug tickets, the Fix Version is used to know which bugs are priority based on where we are in the release cycle.

• Product Managers:

  • To prioritize backlog.

  • To estimate/plan what Story tickets ship in what release.

• Release Manager:

  • Follow status of resolved, open and submitted tickets for current release.

  • Compose various release metrics.

• Quality Assurance:

  • Prioritize testing of tickets and associated PRs for the next release.

  • Assess completeness of a release before cutting final.

  • Track when changes actually went in, to help investigate bugs and expected behavior.

  • Report on issues, changes, and tests by release.
