Multiple teams fed from one project/team

Hi,

I have multiple downstream teams with their own Sprint cadence.  My team is a separate team that needs to be able to add tickets to those other teams and still do their own work.

So:
TeamA (Our team) has tickets that are TeamA tickets

TeamB has tickets that are TeamB tickets and TeamA tickets

TeamC has tickets that are TeamC tickets and TeamA tickets

I am trying to set up a board so that I can see upcoming sprints for TeamA, TeamB and TeamC and add tickets from TeamA to each of those

I currently have a filter:
project = TEAMA OR (Project = TEAMB AND labels = TeamATix) OR (Project = TEAMC AND labels = TeamATix) ORDER BY Rank ASC

This is great, and it lets me see the Active sprints in TeamB and TeamC, but when I create a Sprint, it defaults to creating one based off TeamC, AND I cannot make it active.  Also I cannot see upcoming Sprints for TeamB and TeamC

The workflow is:
TeamA has a backlog of work, and either plans to do the work or adds it to TeamB or TeamC for them to do the work.  This work is timebound and so needs to be tracked by TeamA


Is it possible to do this and if there is a plugin that allows this could someone point me at it as I have spent hours trying to find a way to do this.

Thanks

I think your approach to the data is exactly right - a board that shows your main project and then draws in other stuff that might need your team to see it.

But you don't mention how you are using boards.  You've only got one listed here, and it's usually best to think of a board as being a team.  Do Team B and team C have their own boards?

A board will show all the sprints that could contain issues from the board.  And sprints are only loosely connected to a board, so I suspect when you say "when I create a Sprint, it defaults to creating one based off TeamC", it's not, it's just creating a sprint that might contain an issue that matches the query.

Further, I suspect the reason you can't work with the sprint is that you only have sprint permissions in the Team A project.  You need sprint permissions in all the projects that you might have sprint issues in.

Nic - thanks for the response.  Apologies for my late reply.

I am a full admin and have sprint permissions in all the projects.

Team B and C do have their own boards.
