Two Strategies to get project phase :

  1. Auto : By default the selected strategy to get project phase will be "auto"

                    To work with "auto" strategy, you need to map appropriate Jira statuses with the created project phases earlier.

                    To map Jira status to appropriate project phase, drag it from "Unmapped Issue Status" container and drop under required project phase container as below screenshot

 

To dissociate Jira status from project phase, hover it and click on "close" icon and it will moves back to unmapped status column as below

 

                     If aggregate percentage of issues in mapped phase crosses the declared threshold, that project phase becomes projects active status.

for e.g. We have a project called "Facebook Service". We want use project status plugin to get our project phase, so we created below project phases with appropriate Jira statuses mapped  and its threshold with each project phase.

90%

                      So if at least 50% of total issues under "Facebook Service" falls under "To DO", "New" ,"Open", "Documentation", "Requirements", the project phase becomes "Development".

                      If 90% of total issues under  "Facebook Service" falls under "Done", "Resolved", "Complete" the project phase becomes "Complete" automatically

                       If none of the declared threshold matches, the project phase become "UNKNOWN" as shown below.

                       


2. Manual

To work with manual strategy, no Jira status to project phase mapping is required.

You need to toggle "Update Manually" to selected or on and update required phase as shown below.
