Multiple boards for one project

[pschmidt]

On completion of my build and test sprint, I want to move completed user stories to another board within the same project for purposes of tracking customer acceptance and devops progress for deployment and release.

Hi @pschmidt -

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

That’s a great use case and yes, it’s absolutely possible to have multiple boards within the same project in Jira. You can use this setup to manage different stages of your workflow, such as development, testing, customer acceptance, and deployment.

Here’s how you can do it: Create a Second Board Using JQL

You can create another board within the same project and filter what issues appear there using JQL (Jira Query Language).
For example:

• Your Dev Board (existing) might show: JQL:   project = "MyProject" AND statusCategory != Done

• Your Customer Acceptance / Deployment Board could show:   JQL:  project = "MyProject" AND statusCategory = Done
• or even more specifically:   JQL:  project = "MyProject" AND resolution = Done AND fixVersion is not EMPTY

This way, once you complete your sprint and move stories to “Done,” they automatically appear in the second board for tracking or release management.

Would you mind sharing whether your project is team-managed or company-managed?
That will help tailor the exact setup for your case.

Hope this helps!

You can do that, just create a Kanban board and map the ending statuses (last column) of your Sprint board to be the first column of the new board. You can even create a board filter so that it only shows the statuses that you want, also.
