Visually distinguish feature requests for better prioritization
Product managers receive feature requests from various sources like customers, internal teams, and user testing. However, Jira’s native labels don’t make it easy to differentiate these requests at a glance because they’re all grey and visually indistinct.
This creates inefficiencies when prioritizing features. Teams have to read through each issue manually to understand its context and origin, contributing to wasted time and decision fatigue.
With Awesome Custom Fields’ Color Labels, you can assign distinct colors to different feature request types.
For example:
- Orange for “Customer Feedback”
- Blue for “Internal Suggestions”
- Green for “User Testing Insights”
Now, instead of scanning long lists of feature requests with standard grey labels, teams can quickly identify the source of each request, enhancing the ability to categorize, discuss, and prioritize these tasks during team meetings.
An added benefit of Awesome Custom Field’s colour labels is that they allow admins to predefine and restrict label choices. Out of the box, Jira allows anyone to create new labels freely which, can easily create clutter and duplication. With controlled label options, users quickly choose from a dropdown of predefined labels, saving time and helping your boards stay organized and easy to filter.
PS colour labels are not just for Jira — they also works smoothly with Jira Service Management. This can speed up time for all parties — letting customers quickly choose from predefined colour labels, while making requests easier to prioritise for agents. To use Awesome Custom Fields in JSM, you’ll need to download our extension.
