Crafting a Minimalistic Checklist for Jira with Tick

Why Some Teams Need a Minimalistic Checklist

Not every team needs a complicated system to manage their tasks. For many, a simple checklist is enough to stay organized and on track. Some companies and teams benefit from a minimalistic checklist in Jira because it keeps things straightforward and easy to follow. When you don’t need all the extra features, a simple checklist helps avoid distractions and lets everyone focus on getting things done. It’s especially useful for small teams or projects that don’t need a lot of extra information.

The Benefits of Keeping It Simple

Using a minimalistic checklist has its perks. It reduces confusion and keeps the focus on what really matters. With fewer options to worry about, teams can quickly see what needs to be done without getting bogged down. This leads to better productivity and less overhead. A simple setup also means less room for errors and misunderstandings, making it easier for everyone to stay on the same page.

Tick – Simple, Yet Highly Customizable

Tick offers a great default checklist that’s packed with features like assigning tasks to users, using custom workflows, and setting task due dates. But it also lets you customize it to fit your needs. You can strip it down to the basics if you want a more minimalistic look and feel. This flexibility is one of Tick’s best features. You can use it as a powerful tool with all the bells and whistles, or you can simplify it to just the essentials. It’s your choice.

How to Make Tick More Minimalistic

• Be a Jira Admin: Customization in Tick can only be done by a Jira admin. Make sure you have admin privileges or contact your Jira admin to make the changes.
• Go to “Manage your Apps”: Click on the “Apps” menu from the top bar in Jira and select “Manage your Apps.” This will take you to the page where you can access all installed apps, including Tick.

• Access General Settings: In the Tick app menu, go to the “General Settings” section. (Include a screenshot here showing how to access this menu.)

• Disable Due Date: In the general settings, you’ll find an option to disable the due date feature for your desired project. This will remove the due date field from your checklist. (Include a screenshot of the toggle option.)

• Disable User Assignment: You can also disable the user assignment feature for this specific project. This makes your checklist more streamlined by removing assignees. (Include a screenshot showing how to turn off user assignment.)

• Adjust Status Settings: Next, go to the “Status Settings” menu. (Include a screenshot showing how to access this menu.)

• Disable Project Status: In the list of projects, find your project and toggle to disable the status options, just like turning off workflows for that specific project. This helps keep your checklist simple and focused. (Include a screenshot showing how to toggle status settings for a project.)

Once these settings are configured, your checklist will be super simple and minimalistic for the selected project.
