WSJF (Weighted Shortest Job First)

Field Configuration

Before starting the field configuration, please follow the instructions for creating custom fields

Step 1: Set a Name And Description

Provide a good name for the new custom field. Make it descriptive, concise, and easy to understand for others who will use it. Avoid using ambiguous or overly technical terms.

Step 2: Configure Your Custom Field

The WSJF field allows you to choose from a pre-defined color palette or add your custom color as HEX color value.

Step 3 (Optional): Setup dynamic WSJF data

If you choose “link existing Jira custom fields“, the WSJF value can be calculated based on existing Jira fields. You can map existing Jira fields to the corresponding WSJF values.

This option does not work when used in JSM

Step 3 (Optional): Setup Color based on value

You may set different colors for different values. For example use a traffic lights approach to determine issues with high or low WSJF values.
