I need my child issues to show separately on my active sprint board.

[Shelley Sherman]

I would like the child issues I've setup with my stories to show as separate items on my active sprint board (as sub-tasks do).  

I need the separate child issues to be able to be moved to different stages on the board, even if the stories they form part of is in a different stage on the board.

Anyone have some advice for me?

Hi @Shelley Sherman 

What do you mean by "child issues" of stories?  Do you mean other sub-task types or something else?

I believe that sub-task types of stories are the only issue types which have the built-in behavior you describe, moving on the board independently of their parent story.

For company-managed projects, something like this is possible with swim lanes, such as for epics/stories.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi Bill

Thank you for the advice.

The board I am using doesn't offer me the option of sub-tasks, only child issues. Does this perhaps means I will need to create a new board and recreate my child issues as sub-tasks?

Hi, Shelley!  Just some quick follow-ups:

• What kind of project are you using: business, software, or service?
• And if software, are you using company-managed or team-managed?
• And what type of board are you trying to use, Scrum or Kanban?

Thanks!

Hi Bill

Have just checked and it would appear that Im able to achieve what I need when the board is company-managed not team-managed (both Scrum).

I do believe this is the solution to my issue. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to guide me to my solution!
