Filter by project in a multi-project backlog (classic)

[Susan Weber]

Hi.  We've been using a multi-project board for many years, but I just took over as scrum master and I've put my finger on an issue that has been bugging me for years.

Everyone on the team contributes to multiple different projects, so our sprints for years have been disjointed, with the discussions flipping between projects as we work our way through each person. Instead I want to use the product as the focus, and groom the new sprint project by project.

I was not immediately able to see a way to filter by project so I posted this question

I found the answer to my own question: Quick Filters.

Specifically: this JQL

project = *project_name* AND (sprint is EMPTY OR Sprint not in (openSprints(), futureSprints())) AND resolution = Unresolved and status != Closed

Problem solved
