How to Change the Status of a Jira Ticket

Use this interactive demo to learn how to update a Jira ticket's status in just a few clicks.

Quick summary

This demo shows you how to change the status of a Jira ticket directly from the board view using the More Actions menu. In seconds, you can update any ticket's workflow status — such as moving it to In Progress — without opening the full issue.


Steps

  1. In your Jira board, find the ticket you want to edit and click its corresponding More Actions button.
  2. Hover your mouse cursor over the Change Status option in the dropdown menu.
  3. Select the new status you wish to set, such as In Progress.
  4. The status of the selected Jira ticket will be updated and reflected on the board immediately.

📌 Why this matters

Being able to quickly change the status of a Jira ticket directly from the board view keeps sprint workflows accurate and teams aligned without interrupting focus. Rather than opening a full issue to update its workflow state, the More Actions menu lets project managers and developers update ticket status in seconds. Keeping Jira ticket statuses current ensures sprint boards reflect real progress, improving visibility for stakeholders and reducing blockers in daily standups. This feature is essential for any agile team using Jira to manage software development projects.
