 Some additional points for developers:
 
- - Submit your changes early and often.  Code and design review input
-   with corrections early in the process prevent huge changes later.
- - Please open a `jira ticket <https://jira.opencord.org/projects/VOL>`_ describing the issue/feature.
- - While checking in changes please preface the commit message with
-   `[VOL-<jira_number]` e.g. `[VOL-4550]` to automatically link changesets,
-   jenkins jobs, etc making them self-documenting for discussions.

+Jira tickets for code changes
+=============================
+
+Please open a `jira ticket <https://jira.opencord.org/projects/VOL>`_ describing the issue/feature.
+
+- For large or multi-part features create a containing ticket with several
+  sub-tickets tracking individual features or problems.
+- Descripton - include relevant information
+
+  - Error messages
+  - Reproduction step(s) for problems
+  - Web URLs, links to jenkins job logs are very helpful.
+
+    - Note: Jenkins job logs will age out and disappear over time.
+    - To prevent this view the job history panel in jenkins UI
+
+      - Two links are available in history, colored icon on the left and #job on the right.
+      - Click the #job link to view job.
+      - Top right corner will contain a clickable button "Keep this build forever".
+      - Just remember to clear this attribute after the jira ticket is closed.
+
+- Assign field ``Fix Version/s:`` VOLTHA-X.Y
+
+     - This will enables searching for feature by release.
+     - Leveraged during release to document fixes and enhancements in release notes.
+- While viewing a jira ticket, the 'More' navigation pulldown menu at the top
+  is useful for creating sub tickets or creating links to external resources.
