Appfire - Delegated Project Creator for Jira

Delegated Project Creator for Jira allows admins to delegate project creation to trusted users or groups. Using admin-defined templates with preconfigured schemes, those trusted users can create their own projects or submit a request for a project that an admin can approve or disapprove with one click.

Step 1 of 5

Delegated Project Creator

Benefits:

  • Free up admins to work on other things - Relieve admins of the manual, repetitive tasks associated with project creation through delegation and automation.
  • Help teams start project work sooner - Teams can create projects when they’re needed, rather than waiting for a project to be created by an administrator (who may live in a different time zone). Admins avoid being a bottleneck.
  • Support growing organizations - Templates help an organization standardize commonly-requested project types, removing the guesswork (and rework) associated with project configuration.
  • Build templates, standardize settings and maintain visibility on all created projects. Empower trusted users to create and request new projects.
Step 2 of 5

Build templates for commonly-requested project types

Jira admins can create predefined project templates with settings for components, versions, permissions, screens, notifications, priorities and everything else you'd expect in a project. These project templates help organizations scale by avoiding the work of reconfiguring tasks, ownership, dependencies and timelines associated with a common project type.

Step 3 of 5

Delegated individuals can create or request projects when needed

Admins identify individuals or groups whom they trust with project creation responsibilities. Then they configure permissions behind the scenes to allow these users to either create, request or approve projects whenever they need in a few simple steps. Admins stay in total control by deciding who can create projects vs. who can submit project requests while removing themselves from becoming a project creation bottleneck.

Step 4 of 5

Project creation reports and notifications

Notification features and easy-to-access reports mean admins can keep an eye on all project creation activity and requests that need review. Details like the template used, the project name, project key, created date, creator and requestor are all provided in the report so the admin knows who to follow up with if issues arise. If admins prefer to stay on top of activity with real-time updates, they can easily configure project creation and request notifications to their email.

Step 5 of 5

Define questions for project requesters to answer

One common pain point when end users request projects is that admins don’t have all the details they need to create the project. With Delegated Project Creator, users can request a new project based on a template and provide answers to pre-set questions to go along with the request. Admins can use their answers to decide whether to approve or reject the project request or make some final changes to the project, like assigning a project lead.
