This template provides an agency-wide Jira design for programmes/projects to use, reducing the need for the development of individual Jira solutions. This solution is known as the Integrated Delivery Landscape (IDL), and can be applied across the delivery of a programme.
The IDL was initially developed to support large scale programmes of work with visibility of the backlog,
tracking dependencies between projects, reducing the time requirement of reporting, and allowing project managers to focus on delivery rather than tool configuration.
Use of the unified design enables a reduction in the time it takes to set up Jira for a project, creates
consistency in the Jira data structure, and promotes the use of organisational processes and
knowledge.
The IDL also enables tracing individual tasks and features back to agency level strategic objectives and
themes.
Features of the Jira solution include:
- Automated Jira project setup
- Project management and reporting tools
- Issue hierarchy and taxonomy
- Activity templates
- Automated activity creation
- Jira governance
