In our Jira workflow we have different states like: Open, In Progress,
Review, Landing and etc.
It is engineer responsibility to maintain correct state.
After engineer see that it has two +1, he/she transfers ticket to state
Landing.
Gatekeeper has search for all tickets at this state and see what is ready
to land. Actually gatekeeper (or other people) could subscribe to search
and receive e-mail with it results.

Having different states in Jira gives us more clear vision what is the
state of the project and where issues are.
Using Kanban GreenHopper RapidBoard you even could get many statistical
info about time that was spend in each state and other charts/stat.

Limiting work in progress in each state you could easily see where you
having issues in process. BTW our UpstreamLanding column is always red,
that's why we always trying to find a way to improve process of upstream
landing.

Maybe having RapidBoard at Intel Jira with such info for sustaining will
give to all of us more visibility and stat. But that requires Jira workflow
changes and process changes.
