Main Description
### Work Item Configuration During the project set up, the process template uses the static configuration data specification to initialize the Work Item component in the following way: Define work item types Define work flow of the work items Define pre-defined work item queries Define presentation of the work items editor Define work item enumerations or value of the work item attributes such as priorities and severities #### Work Item Types There are 3 types of work items defined in the process template. Defect Task Enhancement Defect, task and enhancement work item types are using the default work flow in Jazz. #### Work Flows ##### Default Work Flow The following is the default work flow of work item (defect, task and enhancement) in Jazz. Default Work Flow summary:
State | Definition | Following State | Action
New | A Work Item is in this state when 1) someone creates a new Work Item, 2) a team member who has been working on this Work Item stop working, or 3) team member discovers that the unconfirmed bug or defect is actually a defect. | InProgress Resolved | StartWorking Resolve
InProgress | This state occurs when the Work Item has been assigned to a team member and he/she starts working on it. | Resolved New | Resolve StopWorking
Resolved | The resolution of this Work Item is complete and is now ready for verification (if needed). If there is no verification required, this work item is ready to be Closed. The following is the possible sub-state of this state. Unresolved Won't fix Remind Fixed Work for me Later Duplicate Invalid Fixed up stream There is a possibility that the team members have found the problems or issues of the resolution before the verification. This situation will set this Work Item to either Unconfirmed state or Reopened state. See Unconfirmed state or Reopened state for more detail. | Verified Closed Unconfirmed Reopened | Verify Close Unconfirm Reopen
Verified | A resolved Work Item has been Verified. If there is no problem or issue found, the Work Item is ready to be Closed. Otherwise, it will be assigned to Unconfirmed state or Reopened state for father investigation. See Unconfirmed state or Reopened state for more detail. The following is the possible sub-state of this state. Unresolved Won't fix Remind Fixed Work for me Later Duplicate Invalid Fixed up stream | Closed Unconfirmed Reopened | Close Unconfirm Reopen
Closed | A Work Item no longer requires attention. The Work Item may be Closed: 1) after the resolution of this Work Item is complete, or 2) after its verified resolution is validate and there is no problem or issue found. Closed state considers the final state unless someone have found the problems or issues which will set the state of this Work Item to either Unconfirmed state or Reopened state. See Unconfirmed state or Reopened state for more detail. The following is the possible sub-state of this state. Unresolved Won't fix Remind Fixed Work for me Later Duplicate Invalid Fixed up stream | Unconfirmed Reopened | Unconfirm Reopen
Unconfirmed | This state occurs when the team members cannot confirm that the resolution of this Work Item is complete or do not agree on the resolution. This situation can happen anytime during Resolved state, Verified state or Close state. | Inprogress Resolved New | StartWorking Resolve BugConfirmed
Reopened | This sate occurs when the team members have found that the completed Work Item still do not resolve and need to Open the Work Item. For example, the defect which have been correct is re-appear. This situation can happen anytime during Resolved state, Verified state or Close state. | Inprogress Resolved | StartWorking Resolve
#### Presentation of the Work Item Editor This part of specification specify how the work item editor will look like. It defines the fields and pages which are contained in the Work Item Editor. #### Work Item Enumerations ##### Priorities The process template define 4 values for work item piorities.
