add team members to board

Question

Hi.  Sorry I didn't realize I actually submitted this.  Thanks for your response.

I was looking for a way to just create a Team manually, have the ability to associate them with different Projects, and then create a Board for them and also assign work to them through the Portfolio Plan.   This is because we have essentially 2 teams here that sometimes work on separate projects and sometimes work on the same projects.  One team is a Sprint team and one uses a Kanban.  I figured out a way to do it, maybe you can tell me if there are other approaches.

*  Created Projects on JIRA side
*  Deleted the Project boards that were automatically created.
*  Manually created 2 new Boards, 1 Sprint and 1 Kanban.  Named them after the teams.
*  Came back to Portfolio Plan and saw that the two Teams had been automatically created in the 'Teams' section.   System (correctly) assumed that the boards were for Teams, not Projects.
* Added members to the Teams on the Portfolio side.

Can you explain what you need? You don't need to add members to a board, you just need to assign them issues that are represented on the board.
