The delivery flow

Jira is useful when it makes work and constraint easier to see.

The goal is not a beautiful board. It is a delivery system that helps the team understand what is moving and what is not.

Turn work into a clear hierarchy of epics, stories, tasks and bugs.

02Plan

Estimate, prioritise and organise work around capacity.

03Deliver

Run the board, manage WIP and surface blocked work.

04Report

Use delivery data to communicate progress and improve the next cycle.
