How to Change Status of Jira Ticket to ‘In Progress’

Changing the status of a Jira ticket to "In Progress" involves transitioning the ticket through your workflow. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Open Jira and go to the project where the ticket is located.
Click on the ticket to open its detailed view.
Find the status dropdown or transition buttons at the top of the ticket, usually near the ticket title or in the issue’s workflow section.
Select 'In Progress' from the available options.
Ensure the ticket now shows 'In Progress' in the status field.
The ticket’s status will automatically update to 'In Progress'.
