How it works

From a diagram to work in Jira, in three steps

You describe the process once. Flower makes sure that every case follows it.
  1. 1

    Model the process

    Draw the process in the BPMN modeler inside Jira, or start from a template. The lanes say which team does which step.
  2. 2

    Start it for a case

    Start the process for a new employee, a purchase, or an incident: from the Flower repository, by creating a Jira work item, or through the REST API.
  3. 3

    Work in Jira

    Flower creates the work item of a step when the process reaches it and assigns it through its lane. When the work item is resolved, the process moves on, and the diagram shows where every case stands.
A process model in Jira: every activity becomes a work item, and the diagram shows where the process stands.

Document processes where the work happens

Process models live in Jira. Everyone looks at the same diagram, and the diagram shows the real status of the work.

A BPMN diagram of a product launch with notes on its parts: pool, lanes, tasks, gateways, and a timer

BPMN 2.0, the standard notation

Model with events, activities, gateways, and lanes. Import and export BPMN files to exchange models with other tools.

One place for all models

A model is a Jira work item: find it with JQL, control access with Jira permissions, and show it on Confluence pages.

Traceable for audits

Every process instance and every step is a work item with its history: who did what, and when.

Automate what a Jira workflow cannot

A Jira workflow moves one work item through its statuses. Flower connects many work items, teams, and decisions to one process.

A process on the left and its Jira work items on the right: a task becomes a work item, a lane the assignee, a timer the due date

Parallel work and decisions

Start tasks for several teams at the same time, wait until all are done, and choose the path with conditions on your Jira data.

Due dates and escalations

Timer events set the due date of a work item, send reminders, and escalate work that is overdue.

Connected to your tools

Call a rule of Jira Automation or a REST endpoint from a process, and start processes through the Flower REST API.
Templates

Start from a process that already works

Open a template in Flower, adjust the lanes to your teams, and run it. Every template comes with its diagram and a BPMN file to download.
Made for Jira
