Introduction
Agile Hive comes with predefined workflows for various issue 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
Make sure you’re logged in with a Jira user holding at least Jira Administrator permission.
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 Manage Agile Hive Statuses.
Overview of Agile Hive 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.
Portfolio Workflow

Large Solution Workflow
Used by Jira projects on the Large Solution level.
ART Workflow

Team Workflow
The default workflow for both Scrum and Kanban Jira projects on the Team level.

Create Agile Hive Workflows
As a Jira administrator, navigate to the ‘Apps’ administration of your Jira Cloud site. Select ‘Agile Hive’ in the sidebar on the left and then go to the tab ‘Workflows’.
On this page you find an overview of all workflows Agile Hive provides and the state of each of the workflows for your Jira site. In case one or more workflows are missing simply click the ‘Create Workflows’ button to create any missing workflows.
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.
