What is the best way to organize my project?

[srmarklau]

Hi friends. We have in our work a monolithic system to manage academic activities and a group of developers to solve bugs and minor changes, and another group that works with projects to develop new modules or big features in the system.

I would like to know from your experiences, how I could organize this situation in Jira Software?

For subprojects (new modules) we use scrum / kanban and for bugs and minor changes kanban only. Can I use only one project or should I create a project for each sub-module and other for bugs and minor changes? How do you do your projects?

Hi @srmarklau   - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

It really depends on how your team is organized in my opinion. We tend to create a different project for each complete team that does work. If the same people who develop new modules are also the ones who do bug and defect fixes, I would use one project. Otherwise I would create a separate project for each team.

Again, if they are separate teams, I would create separate projects. But you could also do it with one project. That's my two cents.  :-)

Hi @srmarklau ,

I think you can manage it in one project. Use Board Filter to filter Issues that need to be managed in Kanban and Scrum board.

Thanks for the answers.  Currently, the teams are divided as follows:

Academic Activities Manager System

-> active subproject - MBA module - TEAM 1 - 2 months - Scrum

-> active subproject - Virtual Class module - TEAM 2 - 2 months - Scrum

-> bugs and minor changes - TEAM 3 - continuous work - Kanban
