Finding the Right Template For Your Team

Selecting the right Jira card template is important in building your product and project management workflow. Some teams prefer simple, sparse cards that get to the point, while others prefer complex, documentation-rich cards. Each team is different, and your template should evolve as your team's needs change. With that in mind, we've assembled a library of Jira card templates to help your team find what works. Our "Accessibility Fix" template, which you can find below, is a great starting point.

What Does "Right" Look Like?

The right Jira card template will match your team's stage, maturity, and purpose. Early in the product development process, your team is likely small and working on proof of concepts, where flexibility and quick pivots are key to success. Your team will likely want the lightest-weight card template possible at this stage, enabling quick iteration without the burden of unnecessary documentation. Your card template will evolve with your team, and as your team grows, so will your processes. Even with team growth, it's important to document as little as possible to maintain agility. The phrase "as little as possible" is intentionally chosen. If you under-document, you will lack a history of your team's work, the decisions you made, and their "why." You don't want to over-document, either. A good barometer for this is to ask yourself, "Is someone going to read what I'm writing?" If the answer is "yes," you're probably on the right track. If the answer is "no" or "not really," you're probably over-documenting. Striking the right balance is key to maintaining your velocity, and selecting the right Jira card template can help you stay on the right track.

"Accessibility Fix" Template Example

Here's an example of our Jira card template in action.

Accessibility Fix

The "Red Pill / Blue Pill" choice screen is inaccessible to screen reader users, violating WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 2.4.7 (Focus Visible). Currently, focus is not programmatically set to the choice buttons, making it impossible for keyboard-only users to navigate. Additionally, the red and blue color scheme creates barriers for colorblind users, failing WCAG 1.4.1 (Use of Color).

Impacted Users

• Screen reader users – Unable to perceive the choice prompt, making the decision unclear.
• Keyboard-only users – Cannot tab to or select either option.
• Users with color blindness – Cannot distinguish between red and blue choices.

Proposed Solution

• Implement visible focus indicators on the choice buttons.
• Add semantic labels (aria-label) to clarify each option’s consequence.
• Introduce alternative text or patterns (e.g., icons or textures) to differentiate choices beyond color.

To-Do:

• Ensure focus is set to the choice buttons when the screen appears.
• Add aria-label attributes to describe each pill’s effect.
• Update button styles to include non-color-based visual distinctions.
• Test with screen readers and keyboard navigation tools.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Keyboard users can navigate and select an option.
• Screen readers correctly announce each choice.
• Colorblind users can differentiate between the two pills without relying on color.
• Compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA is verified.
