I just stumbled upon this article and tried the afore mentioned way to create a board of all boards sort of thing. I set up my filter, where I can see all my tickets. But neither in the Scrum nor n the Kanban Board are those visible.
We are using business projects and I would love to have some sort of weekly to do list for my colleagues.
Hi @teusner , I would need more information of exactly what you did, and what your used case is. It may be that there is a better solution. For example, you mentioned that you wanted to do list for your team members. If I were doing that, I would likely set up a dashboard that leverage is the currentuser() JQL function in various filters and apply those filters to the gadgets in the dashboard.
What I want is something like this ( I tried to do a quick sketch)
A board, where tickets (tasks from business projects mainly + tickets from our servicedesk) as cards in one view. Lanes per week / Sprint for a simple overview, what I need to do this week and easy planning.
Drag and drop Tickets from backlog to the sprint for planning, drag and drop tickets to the coloumn to change its state.
One Board for every Team member where everyone only sees their work load for the current week, next week etc.
Came here to comment on finding the card layout limitation that HW Goh has mentioned above. I was able to use a custom field as a filter for colouring the cards, but seeing the field content on the layout would be handier.
One possible further limitation is when estimating using story points. Team Managed Projects use 'Story point estimates' while boards associated with a profile, as here, use 'Story Points'. This means Story Point fields in the backlog and reports show as blank/empty.
@Stefano Magnani thanks for the response. That only allows you to add them as fields on tasks. It doesnt allow you to use the story point estimates for any planning activity. Thats because personal boards and company managed boards use "Story Points" and tasks in team managed projects require you to use "Story Point Estimates" See my screenshot where the "Story Point" counters are all showing "0", regardless of fields added. I havent yet found a workaround for this yet.
It's been several years since this post and the conversation has deviated quite a bit. I would like to reprise the original question focused only on Company Managed Business Projects (Space).
Does anyone know - with the updated UI and functionality, if multiple boards is supported for what I've described? It appears to me that this is not supported. The former workaround for locating all boards 'yourDomain.atlassian.net/jira/boards' does not appear to work as it's forcing a "Location" selection and the example Business project I'm working with isn't available as the limitation is exceptionally clear: "Select a Software project or your own profile as the place where this board will live".
Hi @Adam Dulberg , If your question is "can I have more than one board associated with a business project that is company managed?" Then the answer is yes you certainly can. Though the UI has changed quite a bit since I wrote the original article the process largely remains the same.
Create a filter that captures the work items that you wish to display on a secondary board.
Create a new board such as kanban and select from an existing filter. For the "location"simply choose your profile which should be listed at the bottom of the list.
Once you create the board you should see the issues that your board filter defines.
To make it easier for the team to navigate to this secondary board be sure to add a shortcut using the URL.
Notes:
Be sure to share the filter and the board with the desired team members so that they will be able to access it.
It is worth reading through the various limitations that myself and others have pointed out here in this article as there are several that may or may not impact your requirements.
If in fact I have your question wrong please do elaborate on exactly what you were hoping to achieve and I will do my best to respond.
In Business projects there is a new feature to support multiple boards.
You can add a board that shows a filtered view of the project's main board, based on use of the Filter button shown above the board
If you click the + button to the right of the last navigation tab for the project then you should see an option to add a Board.
When you select that another tab will be added with the initial name of "Board". You'll want to change that tab name.
The display will be an unfiltered view of the project board
You can then apply the Filter options to that specific board tab.
The filters you apply will remain associated with that tab
In this way you can have multiple board views each with a different filter applied. The applied filter will remain set for each board view as you navigate between the tabs.
