Is it possible to bifurcate work stage (I mean visualization) in JIRA ? For example, Code review is bifurcated into To Do and In Progress. This is required as I want to set max limit for WIP in some of the stages.

 

To Do

In Progress (max 4)

Code Review

- To do 

- In progress

Internal Testing

- To do (4)

- In progress (2)

UAT

Done

If I understood correctly, then I suggest you to adapt your JIRA workflow(s). Speak with your JIRA admin or someone in devops

Check if you have the JIRA Simplified Workflow in your project settings - if so you can add as many columns as you want.

Jira allows tickets to be in different statuses; but then it maps the statuses to a specific column. You can have multiple statuses appear in the same column, and a WIP limit applied for that column.

As far as I know, there is no way to apply a WIP limit that covers multiple columns in Jira.

So you will probably need to decide between having separate columns for "Code Review – To Do" and "Code Review – In Progress", each with their own WIP limit, or a single "Code Review" column with a WIP limit that covers both statuses.

If you are using a Kanban board in Jira, you can limit WIP per column.  You will have to reconfigure your board, add some columns and statuses.  If you are a Jira Project Admin you can do this on your own. If you are not, you will need to enlist the help of your Jira Admins. 

Here is a link to the Jira documentation on how to do this.
