Workflows



Introduction

Agile Hive comes with predefined workflows for various Work Types in projects on every SAFe® layer. To easily make your Jira projects SAFe®-friendly, you will need to add the workflows provided by Agile Hive, as they adhere to the official framework methodology.

There’s no obligation to use the built-in workflows of Agile Hive. In case your site has well-established workflows already available, you can configure them in Agile Hive and still experience the full featureset of the app. Also, you can edit or extend the default workflows that come with Agile Hive to meet your company’s specific needs.

Prerequisites

In order to create Agile Hive Workflows, it is required to create all of the Agile Hive Statuses first. For more information on Agile Hive Statuses please refer to Statuses.

Overview of featured Workflows

Each of the workflows for projects on the various SAFe® layers contains a dedicated set of Agile Hive Statuses. Please note that the overview below only contains the statuses originally included with Agile Hive by default.

Troubleshooting

In case one or more workflows cannot be created, please make sure that no other workflow with the same name already exists in your Jira site. Also, double-check that all Agile Hive Statuses have been successfully set up prior to creating the workflows.
