Configure Project Templates for Agile Hive
- Lukas Nicolai_Seibert_Media_
How it works:
Fast & Easy Project Creation for Agile Hive Cloud
It only takes about 5 minutes for an admin to create a Project Template for each SAFe level in Agile Hive. For the four SAFe levels that means 20 minutes total investment. The admin gains that back easily by reducing the time to create a project from a template to less than 1 minute per project. Depending on pre-set permissions also users can now pick the available schemes and start their Jira project at the SAFe level.
Your main benefits:
Save time & effort for admins: Admins can create individual Jira project templates based on available schemes. After setup, it only takes a few clicks to kickstart a project for any use case.
Reduce bottlenecks in Jira workflows: Specify permissions for non-admin users or groups, enabling your employees to create their own projects quickly.
Maintain consistency & reduce errors across projects: Pre-defined schemes will maintain coherence across projects and avoid disarray due to any custom project setup by teams.
All Agile Hive Scheme Types are Supported:
Possible Project Templates | Agile Hive Scheme Types: |
|---|---|
Agile Hive Portfolio Template |
|
Agile Hive Large Solution Template |
|
Agile Hive Art Template |
|
Agile Hive Team Template |

Written Description: Configure Agile Hive ART Project Template
You will find the Templating.app in the Atlassian Marketplace. Make sure that you are an administrator. If you have admin access in your Jira instance, you are ready and set for your first project template.
Navigate to Apps and click on Templating.app.
Access Project Templates: In the top right of the navigation, you can click on “Project Templates.” If you do not have this option displayed, you are probably missing admin access.
Access Administration: Now you can see all project templates that are available at the time. In the top left, you can go to administration and edit templates or create a new one.
Creating a template with Agile Hive Cloud schemes: In the setup, you can add various information like Name, Description, Notes, Project Type, and Project Lead. Also, choose if the project template will be enabled or disabled.
Define available scheme types: You can pre-define which schemes should be available for a user that will use the template afterward:
For Agile Hive Cloud, you always have the schemes available for every SAFe hierarchy:
Agile Hive - ART - Issue Type Scheme
Agile Hive - ART - Issue Type Screen Scheme
Agile Hive - ART - Workflow Scheme
→ When there is no specific scheme that applies to your use case, you can always choose the “Jira Default.” If you do not choose one of the schemes, all of them will be available to the person creating a Jira project afterward.
After choosing all relevant options for your template, you can simply go back into the user interface and create your first Agile Hive template!
Define Permissions: Navigate to Permissions in the left menu. Here you can add specific groups or specific users that will be able to use the project template.
Create a project: Next, you can navigate back to the Project Template overview, choose a preferred template, and create your project with just a few clicks. Since all scheme types are already defined, you will only need to choose the name and key for your project.
Create a Kanban board: After your project is created, you can navigate to “Boards” on the left, then “Create a Board” and choose Kanban Board. Now you can “Create a board from an existing project” and choose your Agile Hive ART Project.
Voila! You’re done! 🥳
