Quick Start

Use this sequence when setting up Status Aging for the first time in a project.

1. Open Status Aging

Open the Jira project and select Status Aging.

If this is the first run for the project, choose a baseline before scanning.

2. Choose a Baseline

For most existing projects, choose Start fresh from today.

This prevents old active issues from becoming overdue immediately because they existed before the app was installed.

3. Review the Project Dashboard

After setup, review the summary cards and overview charts.

Look first at:

• Overdue count.

• At Risk count.

• Top bottleneck statuses.

• Needs attention list.

4. Filter the Issue Table

Use filters to narrow the table to the issues you want to discuss.
