We’re updating our terminology in Jira

The term ‘project’ will soon be replaced with 'space'. You may notice some inconsistencies while we make this change.

Create and edit multiple workflows in team-managed projects

This page is for team-managed spaces

To check whether your space is team-managed or company-managed, select More actions (•••) next to the space name in either the header or the sidebar. At the bottom of the menu that opens, your space details will be shown.

If you're in a company-managed space, check out these company-managed space articles instead.

More about the difference between company-managed and team-managed space.

You must have the following to do the things described on this page.

Role: Space admin

Multiple workflows help you track different streams of work on a single board. This is useful if you’re tracking high-level work alongside day-to-day tasks, or if you wish to capture more than one process for work to get done.

In the workflow editor, it’s possible to create a workflow that applies to a single work type or a combination of work types.

To create or edit an additional workflow:

  1. Next to the name of your space in the sidebar, select More actions (•••), then Space settings.

  2. Select Work types.

  3. Select the work type, then Edit workflow.

  4. Adjust the workflow as needed.

  5. To save your changes, select Update workflow.

  6. From the dropdown, deselect lozenges to specify which work types the workflow will apply to.

  7. Select Save.
