Q: Why do we care about post-functions?
A: post-functions are an essential part of what a “working Jira project” means. These are all the automations being triggered behind the scene for you when a ticket is moving through the steps in the workflow. (for example: send email, create a new ticket in another project, post a comment, parse a field and update another field, etc)

Q: Our UATs already test the workflow “transitions” - why do we have to deal with “post-functions”?
A: Without covering “post-functions” (resp. transition automations), an UAT is worthless.

Q: post-functions are difficult and time-consuming to deal with, why don’t we just wait for consultants to provide “insights” before we tackle these?
A: No amount of consultant insights can eliminate the core business need for us knowing our own automation.
Writing good-coverage UATs, executing UATs is all on us/GP.
UATs must be executed on all projects***, all workflows, all transition along with all automation off the transitions (resp. post-functions).
*** only projects decided to be migrated are referenced here

Q: How to find the list of post-functions for a given workflow/transition?
A: You start off with the workflow viewer (steps shown below)
