Jira Workflow/Scheme Configurations for larger scale orgs

10d • Jira

Hey everyone!

As I was brushing my teeth this morning (which is usually the time I'm most reflective), I wondered how other orgs that you guys work in or have consulted with like to manage your workflows and schemes?

I've worked in both a very disciplined and totally chaotic environments, and really see how essential it is to have consistency across teams. In the past, we have leveraged that by having a single scheme and workflow across multiple spaces (and with some minor exceptions for non tech teams kept a like for like mirror image of those items with some minor adjustments based on their individual team needs)

But on the flip-side, if you need to put mandatory fields or validations on workflows to improve the discipline of some teams but not others, would you feel that having several duplicate schemes works best in these regards?

Or do you just apply a one size fits all approach and stick with one single instance?
