+# Using Jira to understand current work items
+
+This document has been created to give further insight into the work in progress
+towards the hyperledger/fabric v1 architecture based off the community roadmap.
+The requirements for the roadmap are being tracked in [Jira]( https://jira.hyperledger.org/).
+
+It was determined to organize in sprints to better track and show a prioritized
+order of items to be implemented based on feedback received. We’ve done this via
+boards.
+To see these boards and the priorities click on **Boards** -> **Manage Boards**:
+
+![Jira boards](images/Jira.png)
+
+Now on the left side of the screen click on **All boards**:
+
+![Jira boards](images/Jira1.png)
+
+On this page you will see all the public (and restricted) boards that have been
+created. If you want to see the items with current sprint focus, click on the
+boards where the column labeled **Visibility** is **All Users** and the column
+**Board type** is labeled **Scrum**. For example the **Board Name** Consensus:
+
+![Jira boards](images/Jira2.png)
+
+When you click on Consensus under **Board name** you will be directed to a page
+that contains the following columns:
+
+![Jira boards](images/Jira3.png)
+
+The meanings to these columns are as follows:
+
+*	Backlog – list of items slated for the current sprint (sprints are defined in
+  2 week iterations), but are not currently in progress
+*	In progress – are items currently being worked by someone in the community.
+*	In Review – waiting to be reviewed and merged in Gerritt
+*	Done – merged and complete in the sprint.
+
+If you want to see all items in the backlog for a given feature set click on the
+stacked rows on the left navigation of the screen:
+
+![Jira boards](images/Jira4.png)
+
+This shows you items slated for the current sprint at the top, and all items in
+the backlog at the bottom. Items are listed in priority order.
+
+If there is an item you are interested in working on, want more information or
+have questions, or if there is an item that you feel needs to be in higher
+priority, please add comments directly to the Jira item. All feedback and help
+is very much appreciated.
