Business Sign-off & Approvals for Jira Cloud
Business Sign-off keeps sign-off visible, actionable, and easier to review directly on the Jira issue. Detailed controls and technical depth are covered on the capabilities page.
These are the parts of the product teams interact with most often.
See who must approve, who already approved, and whether the issue is ready to move forward.
Add approvers to issues, update the approval list as work evolves, and keep the current reviewers explicit.
Keep review decisions attached to the Jira issue instead of spreading sign-off across comments, chat, or email.
Track added, pending, approved, and returned states, with support for resetting decisions when another review pass is needed.
The product changes how review work is coordinated, not just how decisions are recorded.
These are the practical results teams tend to care about once sign-off is part of normal work.
Approvals move with less back-and-forth because status, reviewers, and decisions are easier to see.
Review activity stays attached to the issue, making sign-off easier to follow for teams and managers.
Past review activity is easier to understand when someone needs to reconstruct what happened later.
Teams spend less time reconstructing sign-off from fragmented evidence after the fact.
Business Sign-off covers the review workflow around the issue, not just the decision click itself.
