Looking for advice on how to properly manage a single big project with multiple platforms

Hi all.

This is a bit complicated to explain, so I hope I can make it clear and concise.

The END GOAL: Find a logical and streamlined way of managing a single big project with multiple platforms.

 

We have one large project running by a single team of 15 people. Project X.

This project is used on three different platforms. Platform 1, 2 and 3.

Each platform has its own scrum board, therefore each board considered by Jira as a project

All boards are manually synced with the same sprint name, start/end dates.

 

On daily standup, we use a scrum board that consolidates all the platforms under a single board view. Remember we have only one team that works on all these platforms because they share the same base code.

 

The problems we face are:

1. Triple handling of sprints on all three boards. Would like to know if there's a better way to manage it in such a way we only manage one sprint because they are all the same sprint names and dates anyway. 

2. Since all platforms share the same base code, if we encounter a bug we face the question of which board should we use to raise the bug if the bug affects all three platforms or two platforms.

 

Appreciate your suggestions.

Hey Gil,

Here is what I would do - I would create Components on Project X for each platform - Platform 1, Platform 2 and Platform 3. Place one component on each issue in the project. 

Then I would create a single board with one Sprint. Then create 3 Quick Filters on the board - one for each platform. That way you simply click on the quick filter for that platform to see that "project". 

I hope that makes sense.
