Overview

Status Aging Alerts for Jira helps teams find Jira work items that stay too long in one workflow status.

The app answers three operational questions:

  • Which active issues are getting stuck?

  • Where are they getting stuck?

  • Who should act before the delay becomes invisible?

Core Concepts

Status age is the time an issue has spent in its current Jira workflow status.

Threshold is the allowed time for a status. For example, Code Review may be overdue after 24 hours, while Waiting for Client may be overdue after 5 days.

Lifecycle path shows how the issue moved through statuses and how long it spent in each status.

Bottleneck is the non-completed status where an issue spent the most time.

Who Should Use It

Status Aging is useful for:

  • Scrum masters and delivery leads running daily triage.

  • Engineering managers monitoring blocked or stale work.

  • QA and release teams watching Review, QA, and Ready for Release queues.

  • Support and operations teams tracking customer-facing delays.
