There are a number of mechanisms to create Possibilities within your Jira instance and Sparkr:

  1. Sparkr “Add Possibility” Page

  2. Jira Global Menu

  3. Jira Boards and Backlogs

Possibilities are an issue type created by Sparkr during the Getting started process and can only be created in Jira projects that have this issue type assigned.

Sparkr “Add Possibility” Page

A dedicated Possibility creation page can be accessed through the Sparkr global secondary menu or in-app menu. This page isolates only the mandatory issue creation fields (i.e. Project and Summary) and, if desired, provides a user the opportunity to “define” and “validate” a Possibility before creating it.

This is useful for innovation activities that include extended stakeholders who may not be familiar with Jira. A direct URL to this page could be distributed and accessed by authenticated users (e.g. https://your-instance.atlassian.net/plugins/servlet/ac/sparkr/possibility).

Jira Global Menu

Jira provides a mechanism for creating issues from the Global menu via a popup window, which can be used for creating a Possibility. This window can be shown by clicking the plus (“+”) icon and displays fields as configured by your users and administrators. See Atlassian’s documentation for more information on configuring required fields and screens your users.

Info

We suggest that the “Definition of Done” for a Possibility is having enough information to answer the final question: Should we implement it? This answer determines if you then move on to implement the idea.

Linking

You can link Problems and Possibilities together to help provide references during your design thinking innovation process. To link either a Problem or Possibility, select “Link issue” when viewing a Problem/Possibility, then select “may solve” or “could be solved by” link type, finally searching for the Problem/Possibility you want to link.

Below is a short video which shows how to link a Problem and Possibility together once you have created them both.

Delete
