How to start

Step 1. Define your templates

 

First things come firsts, determine what you do recurrently. Now, this may be splitted into dozens, if not hundreds of different steps, tasks, documents, deliverables: repeated within a same project.

 

Some engineering activities already have a process to follow, either volontarily (for instance, ISO 9001), or something imposed by a market (for instance EN 62304 for electronic medical devices). Or it may be a custom activities of your own, something your teams develop themselves. In any case, it is important that you have it, not only in mind, but on paper so that it becomes obvious for everyone.

 

 

 

Step 2. Install the software

 

Once you have the process defined, you may download and install Atlassian Jira, Confluence and Gaia Activity for Jira. This setup is low price (starting at 3x$10/year for 10 users), and can be easily installed on a server or on your own computer. Getting professional tools for your work organization is no more a matter of costs.

 

Gaia Activity for Jira provides predefined templates that you may use to organize your work in software and systems. Proven recipes that are easy to understand and apply. We help you save precious time.

 

Step 3. Create or buy your templates

 

Once you have the software installed, you may use Gaia Activity for Jira predefined templates, or create your own that follows your process.
