How to utilize Workspaces: 4 Use cases

The Workspaces enable the separation and management of different business units or teams within a single Jira instance, providing customized settings, permissions, and reporting for each unit.

Below you can find examples of how workspaces can be used in your company:

1. Business Unit Workspace

Workspaces provide a way to separate and segregate several business units or departments within one Jira instance.
Allowing you a clear overview of progress across different branches of your company.

2. Private Workspaces

You can create a workspace that will be completely hidden from everyone except users added to this workspace and your plugin administrators.

3. Workspace Permissions

Setting different permissions for a user across different workspaces enables control over user access and actions based on their roles and responsibilities. Here are the default permission levels:

1. Workspace Admin: Workspace admins have complete control and editing privileges. You can create, edit, or delete OKRs, and control access for other users within that workspace.

2. Reader: Readers can view and access objectives and key results but do not have editing capabilities. This allows you to stay informed and have visibility into the OKRs within the workspace without the ability to make changes.

4. Different Intervals used for each Workspace

For example, one Department creates OKRs for monthly cycles, the other one uses quarters.
In this case, you can create two separate Workspaces for each Department so they can have their individual intervals.
