Create a new Sprint Board

[Jodie Parsons]

Bit of Background

We've been using a Board set up by a colleague who no longer works for the business to manage our Sprints. 

As part of our current process our Developers work on BAU activities in our sprints and that's how we manage the resource on what they can work on in any 2 weeks. We're a very small team! 

We're looking at ways to improve our processes and we have decided to trial using a Kanban Board for a BAU activity alongside our sprint (mainly used for project work) so that Developers can flip between the two. 

The problem

I'm trying to add a new Board (well I believe it's a Board...as we have a number of projects within it) which is owned and managed by me but I'm not sure how to do this. 

The sprint Board we're currently using shows me the Board settings and active sprints but I can't see this in the new one I've set up.

I can't seem to replicate it whereby I can create the above instead owned by me. 

I've tried creating 'Boards' and 'Projects'. I've noticed after setting up a new project I don't see the grey star next to it (see screenshot)

To confirm I am a Site Admin. 

Basically I want to copy the board so I own it but I don't know how. When I found the 'copy dashboard' option it still has the previous colleague's profile picture next to it. 

Help needed

Can anyone help me with the steps I need to take where I can;-

1) Set up a sprint board that mirrors what we currently have which will have multiple projects in - (I know I can amend the filer to enable this). 

Thanks in advance

Hi @Jodie Parsons 

You can copy the existing Board, although it would be another Scrum Board:

1. Go to the search bar in the top-right corner
2. From within the iFrame which appears, select Boards (button is near the bottom of the iFrame)
3. On the next screen, locate the Board
4. On the right-hand side, select the breadcrumbs (3-dots icon), and choose Copy

^ Just to note - this does not duplicate the filter, so if the filter should differ to the existing board, you'll need to create a new one and apply it to the board, rather than modifying the existing one.

--

Or, you can create a whole new board instead (which could be Kanban or Scrum):

1. Go to your Board
2. On the left-hand menu, select your Board's name (which should become a dropdown menu)
3. Press "+ Create Board"

Let us know if this helps!
