Objective and Key Result statuses

This page is about OKR for Jira Cloud. Using Data Center? Click here.

The status of an objective or key result reflects its current stage of progress. These statuses are consistent across both objectives and key results, offering a unified understanding of their conditions within Jira.

Displayed statuses vs. Internal statuses:

The Jira user interface (UI) presents statuses with user-friendly wording for clarity. However, API methods interact with "internal" statuses, which might differ in terminology.

API usage and deprecation:

Currently, API methods primarily use and return "displayed" statuses. However, some API query methods still return internal statuses. These columns are considered deprecated and will be removed in future versions. This section emphasizes the importance of transitioning to using displayed statuses for consistent API interactions.

Status mapping tables:

For your reference, here are status mapping tables to help associate both types of statuses. Highlighted rows indicate differences in wording.
