A Change ABCD issue in Jira is used to record the governance information and approvals when a new standard is created for the first time or updated thereafter.
The initial entry can only be set up by a member of the Technical Standards Group and it is assigned to a Technical Author to complete the draft issue with approvals by the Technical Standards Committee chair.
A Change ABCD issue is attached to an Epic issue in Jira and the Epic acts as the ‘parent’ issue with any associated updates attached as ‘child’ issues. A Change ABCD issue has a blue icon with a white ‘C’.
