How would you organize a crossfunct. software dev team that work on multiple products simultaneously

How would you organize a software dev team of artists, PMs, project managers, designers etc that work on multiple projects simulatenously on JIRA?

I was thinking projects based on team, however our company isn't that large and our objective is to create more awareness so people can easily see what other people are doing. I then thought about product based projects, but it seems like a hassle to have people manage different projects for each product every day.

 

How would you further optimize these two (or a new solution altogether) to make our situation work better? I want to create an easy and accessible way for people to see what others are doing but still make working on multiple products at the same time managable.

 

Perhaps something with Confluence..?

Hello @Keanu Concepcion

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

I believe the best option to get all your teams working together in the same project allowing them to see each other work but have an organized way to identify/filter which issues belong to what  product would be to use the components to define your products, all in the same project:

- Organizing work with components

Using this feature, your whole team will be able to create JQL filters in JIRA to return issues from each specific product altogether with the same project, easily navigating between those issues. Just like this:

Component = "product 1"

Additionally, you can create boards based on your JQL filters, where your teams will be able to check the product backlog, progress and a useful set of reports.

Let me know if this information helps.
