Practical example

I can't think about any better way to demonstrate the workflow configuration than reviewing some real-life practical example. As Kanban Agile methodology is most popular, nowadays, let's see how to configure the workflow to satisfy Kanban task rotation practices.

Tip

Before configuring the workflow, it is always helpful to draw the issue life cycle diagram.

Kanban does not have any strict requirements to the board and column names, so here we'll use the following issue statuses, which should correspond to real-life column names on the Kanban board (except the New status, which should be set on creation, and means is to be reviewed):

Practical example

Assuming there is only one tracker and three roles: "Project manager", who reviews new issues and closes ready ones, "Developer" and "Tester". The following minimal settings should be applied in Redmine:

 

NEW

ACCEPTED

IN PROGRESS

TESTIN

PASSED

DONE

Project manager

      

NEW

 

   

PASSED

     

Developer

      

ACCEPTED

  

   

IN PROGRESS

   

  

Tester

      

TESTING

 

  

 

Of course, this is a very basic example, but you can use it as the starting point.
