I still have the outstanding questions:

• How does JIRA track storypoints completed for issued linked and marked “Duplicate”?
• Can we enter “unassigned” JIRA issues? And if not, does this impact reporting board owners are the default assignee.
  
  

Redesigned Workflow

• Eliminate the JIRA field "Resolution", as this has been included in "Status"
• Change "Open" to "To Do" (and eliminate "Reopen")
• "Flagged" is a bridge to everywhere from everywhere for any deviations from the standard workflow
• "Reviewed" is a hand off of the issue back to the owner from the reviewer
• "Duplicate" issues should be linked to the duplicate as well as moved to this Status (not sure how JIRA tracks storypoints completed for this)
• Deferred items get set back to "To Do" and relegated to the Backlog for later evaluation.
• Non-coding Issues can be set to "Done" "Won't Fix" or "Duplicate" without going to "In Review" or "Reviewed".
