We all have complicated tasks to complete in our work, but few of us face a challenge quite as daunting as delivering gifts to children all over the world in one night! That’s why Santa is grateful for Checklist for Jira Enterprise. Here are the top ten ways that Checklists help Santa stay organized so Christmas Eve is a breeze.
1. Rich Formatting
Delivering gifts all over the world in one night takes a lot of organization. Santa loves the rich formatting he can use on checklists – issue links, user mentions and due dates.
2. Easy Migration
Santa has been doing this for a long time. He was driving his sleigh across the sky long before there was an Atlassian Cloud. So when his lead IT Elf suggested they move to cloud, Santa was happy to find migrating his checklists was a piece of (fruit) cake!
3. Custom Statuses
Sometimes you need more than just a box that’s checked or not. Sometimes you need checklist item statuses. And sometimes you need to create custom statuses for your checklists. Santa can track exactly the information he needs.
4. Checklist Templates
Santa’s job is complex, but it’s also pretty much the same, year after year. So Santa makes Checklist Templates that he can use again and again. He loves it that he can easily add templates to issues via Jira automation, a Jira label or a post function.
5. Dark Theme
Notice anything about Santa’s screen? Winter days are short and the nights are long for Santa and the team of elves working at the North Pole. To avoid eye-strain Santa has adjusted his personal settings in Jira to use Dark Theme. How convenient that Checklist for Jira works with Dark theme too.
6. Copy and Paste Checklists
He’s making a list. He’s checking it twice. It’s a pretty long list, but Santa doesn’t have to create it twice. Instead, he can copy his whole list with one click, and paste into another issue with a second click. It’s that easy.

7. PII Safe
Does it need to be said that Santa has access to a lot of Personally Identifiable Information. He has your name and your address (I mean seriously, this guy sees you when you’re sleeping and knows when you’re awake!). Santa takes privacy seriously, which is why he’s glad to know that HeroCoders, makers of Checklist for Jira, is SOC2 compliant.
8. Enforceable
When Santa’s out delivering gifts, he doesn’t have time to run back up to the North Pole if something was forgotten. He needs to know that the sleigh was packed correctly before he and the reindeer take off. That’s why he’s set a workflow validator that ensures the Packing Checklist is complete.
9. Tab View
If you work at scale, and Santa certainly does, than your lists can get pretty long. The ability to have use multiple checklists and view them in separate tabs helps Santa stay organized. (Unlike many software developers, Santa is very grateful for timezones!)
10. Jira Mobile
Of course, Santa doesn’t just work at the North Pole. He has to take his work on the road, tracking the deliveries he makes on Christmas eve. Good thing checklists work in Jira mobile!
Happy Holidays to all, and may all of your lists be complete in 2025!
