Combining Scrum and Kanban board for a same project

[Pierre Hervouet]

For some operational reasons, I want to:

Have a Scrum board for my development/testers where I can follow the stories within a sprint

Then the done stories of this team become the inputs for E2E, the integration team, where I am following the same stories through a Kanban board (the starting point of this Kbanban board) being the stories done during previous sprint.

is it possible

and what are the attention points to set up this properly

Hi @Pierre Hervouet , I have done that very thing in the past. You will need to be using a company managed project and not a team managed project. You simply need to create the two boards and defined the filters such that it behaves the way you require. For example, let's say your workflow looks like this: to do, in development, ready for QA, in QA, Done

then the scrum board would include: to do, in development, ready for QA

and the Kanban would include: ready for QA, in QA, Done

you can choose to label your columns to be more appropriate, and then simply map the statuses to the proper column. In the example above, you will see that the ready for QA status overlaps the two boards.

Thank you in fact, doing so generate some issues such as 

a ticket moved to ready for QA will be consider in my burdndown, if my testeur are moving then before the closing of the sprint to In QA, the ticket will be in my scrum board consider as re-open and affecte my burdown.

it seems that the only conditions is that I don't used the velocity and burdown chart out of the box.

did you face such situation, or in your case it wasnot relevant?

My situation was that the QA test cycle did not begin until after my sprint was marked complete. What you might consider is to have two different workflows (dev and QA). When a dev issue is marked Done then automation could create a linked test issue.

Thank you Jack , in this case I am facing the problem of getting some metric such as lead time to change. I think I am using a Kanban board, and make outside JIRA some reporting to capture the some common Scrum metrics.

Thank you
