Process Overview

The PSS creation process begins with the creation of a PSS in Confluence.  The sponsoring Workgroup or project is responsible for creating the PSS in Confluence and then creating the JIRA issue.  This starts the approval process (for more information on the approval process, see How to Review a Project Scope Statement in Jira)

The key components of this step include:

  • Creation/Publication of the PSS in Confluence
  • Creation of a JIRA issue related to the PSS
  • Identification of groups to be included in the approval in JIRA
