New projects don´t have board created

[Dominik Březina]

Greetings,

situation is pretty simple. I do:

• Create new project.
• Select Software development.
• As template I choose Scrum.
• As project type I select Company-managed.
• In last step I check Share settings with an existing project.
• I select project that also has Scrum template.
• Clicked Create project.

This created new project with settings of previous one. However, these newly created projects don´t have their own Scrum board created.

Causes

This confuses users. To make things easier for them I prepared some "template projects" that have customized settings. However they constantly report to me that their new projects don´t have Roadmap and Backlog. It takes some time explaining it is caused by missing board and then telling them how do they create new project board.

My question

Is there something I missed during "project template" customization? How can I assure that newly created projects will have default Scrum/Kanban board created with them?

Hi @Dominik Březina 

It doesn't create a board. Please watch and vote this issue JSWCLOUD-12804.

Thank you for reply.

Well case is from 2015. I guess I have to endure myself for constant stream of questions :D

If anybody is arriving to this because of the same reasons I did, I think it will be valuable for you to share this workaround from this article.

Workaround

In your new project, under the project avatar in the sidebar, click the "Create Board" link. Create a new scrum or kanban board for an existing project, and make sure your current project is selected. The board and backlog will become available in the sidebar.
