introduction

In this paper, we feature an analysis of the perceptions that employees have when sending documents for approval with special focus on the Process of Sending for Approval. The Send for Approval process in Jira is to transition a task or issue to an approval step within the software tool. In this point, specifically described approvers may comment, approve or reject a task or a request concerning this task. This process is essential for workflows requiring multiple levels of validation, such as:

Code or document reviews Budget or resource approvals Check for compliance or check regulatory compliance Setting the Approval Route To create an effective approval process,

follow these steps:

1. Define Approval Stages Determine where in your workflow process approvals are needed the most. For instance: Draft Pending Approval Approved/Rejected It is recommended to employ the Jira’s Workfow Editor for the alteration of these stages.

2. Assign Roles and Permissions Based on the settings it allows defining who can submit items for approval and who can authorize them. Set the appropriate permissions under the permission scheme level in Jira. Approvers could be specific users, groups, or roles such as: Team Leads Managers Compliance Officers

3. Set up the specifications of a single or multiple transition to prepare for any occurrence during touring. Define parameters concerning when an issue can advance to the approval stage and backup these parameters with transition conditions. For example: Make sure the final products are for the subtasks are accomplished. Keep some fields mandatory, i.e., where the user has to enter information such as budget estimates and the links to documentation.

4. Approval Plugins or Add-ons can be used Jira’s native features can handle simple approval processes, but for more complex needs, consider plugins like: Jira Service Management: Authorizations for service requests embedded in the design. Automation for Jira: Inform the approvers and update statuses whenever. Third-Party Add-ons: More enhanced ‘tools are found in the likes of Approvals for Jira or ScriptRunner.

5. Automate Notifications Use notification to let the approvers to know that a task is awaiting their action. Employ notifications features on Jira, or with third party applications such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email for notification.
