Can we Create Sub Boards / Workflow in jira

Question

Hello

I have following Stages of Work flow configured , Workflow is based on Scrumban and philosophy is needs to pulled by the teams rather than pushing to next stage

Statge 1:

1. To do ( Grooming Not done)

2. Grooming in Progress

3. Grooming Done

where Grooming done stories apprear as Ready for Development, whihch are base for the Sprint Planning

Stage 2:

1. Ready for Development

2. Development in process

3. Ready for Testing

4. Testing in process

5. Development Done

Where Development done Work appears as backlog for the deployment team where they have separte process

I am contemplating to have a high level view / Board, where I can make these three boards are kind of Child boards for the New High Level board Which have following sections and on drill down will link to current board.

1. Backlog Grooming

2. Dev

3. Testing

4. Deployment

This will enable birds eye view on stories and make and can call Deployment done as Done Done rather than Dev Done as done and over a period of time Team will start seeing the Value of delivery on Product we develop and know how to implement the automation and devops as part of culture

Is it possible for implement my Idea on Jira

Appreciate any help

Yes, your board should gather issues from both your other boards if you want a "global view". Therefore you should create a custom filter that includes issues from both boards.

Hi @Antoine Berry

Are you saying to create a board a kanban board with JQL?

when I try to create a New Kanbanboard with in the project

In  New Kanban Board

My workflow settings automatically to To Do, In progress & Done and this is making things more clumsy as multiple Status are in one one column

Hi @Surya Akasam ,

Not sure if that is what you want but you can create a new Kanban board and map multiple statuses to one column, i.e. statuses 1-2-3 in column "Backlog grooming".

You cannot have a "link" between board though, but they will update each other if they share issues.
