Can I create a Kanban board and a Scrum board in the same project with different tickets?

[Justin Ellis]

I am working with an external team to create and validate user stories but an internal team once those stories are validated and ready for dev. I want to use a Kanban board to create and validate the user stories, and once they have passed all of the validation steps, transition those tickets over into the Scrum board for my dev team to begin working on. Ideally, these two boards would have completely separate backlogs and completely separate tickets. 

When I create a new Kanban board in the existing project, it duplicates over all of the tickets from the backlog and other sprints onto the Kanban board. Like I said above, I don't want tickets from one board on the other, so I don't know if using filters is the right solution.

Does anyone know how to create two separate boards in the same project?

Hi Justin, welcome to the Community!

Yes you absolutely can create multiple boards for a given project and/or multiple projects. Boards are just visual filters of issues with some fancy features, e.g. drag and drop, swimlanes, etc. If you don't want your boards to overlap you simply need to ensure that the filters that define the boards don't overlap. To help you definitively I would need more info about your situation. What issues do you want to see on each board and how are they uniquely defined. For example, maybe statuses can be used, or Components, label, custom field etc.

Hey Jack,

Thanks for the response! I'm still learning all the ins and outs of Jira, so forgive me if this is a very basic issue. Seems like using statuses was exactly what I needed to do. Thank you again!
