Okay, so today I decided to mess around with Jira, specifically trying to see if I could get something called “Mayweather” to work with it. Not sure why I picked that name, maybe I was thinking about boxing? Anyway, here’s how it went down.
Getting Started
First, I logged into my Jira account. I have a regular cloud account that use for a lot of personal projects. Nothing fancy.
Once I was in, I created a new project. I just picked the basic Kanban template. Keep it simple, you know?
The “Mayweather” Experiment
The whole point was to see if I could somehow integrate this “Mayweather” idea. So, I started by creating a few tasks, just some random stuff like “Write a blog post” and “Clean the kitchen”. Very exciting, I know.
Then, I thought, “Maybe I can use labels?”. So I added a label called “Mayweather” to one of the tasks. It felt kinda pointless, but hey, I was committed at this point.
Adding Some (Fake) Complexity
- I created a new issue type and called it “Mayweather Task”.
- I tried to add some custom fields, but I didn’t really know what to do with those.
- I even looked at the workflows, thinking maybe I could make a “Mayweather Workflow”, but that seemed like overkill.
Giving Up (For Now)
Honestly, after about an hour, I realized I was just making things up. There’s no real “Mayweather” thing in Jira. It was all in my head.
But, you know, it was a good way to play around with Jira’s features. I learned a bit more about labels, issue types, and workflows, even if it was all in service of a completely made-up concept.
Maybe next time I’ll try something a little more… real. Or maybe I’ll just go watch some boxing.
