How to create INDEPENDENT boards within 1 Project?

Question

Hey,

I am new to JIRA, and there is one very frustrating thing. We have several projects inside a company, however, each project has many boards: ideas, development, clarification. We also have a UA team that makes ads for each project, so they need separate independent boards inside 1 project because this is strange to create each separate project for each board.

The problem is when I create a task for 1 board it automatically appears on the other. But that's something I do not need at all.

Could you please help me by providing a step by step instruction of how to make the boards independent?

Thank you in advance!

Sure - you filter will look something like this:

Project = ABC and Component = 123 for one board

and

Project = ABC and Component = 456 for another board and so on.

John, thank you for the reply!

Could you please explain in more detail how the components could help? I have created some, but I have no clue how they can help me to separate issues.

Thank you.

Hi Irina - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If the issues following the same workflow, you could actually get back with a single board and use Quick Filters to hide the issues you don't want to see.

But there has to be something to differentiate the issues from each other. I would suggest you use Components. Or Issue Types as Anja suggested. Labels are less useful because users can create their own labels and misspell them or use different cases.

But then the filter for each board could include the value of the Component (or Issue Type or whatever field you want to use).
