Within our organisation we are looking to introduce Squads organised around Product level OKRs. In order to facilitate this, there is a requirement to set up and configure Jira projects and boards to support these new processes and team structures.
At present, work is divided across multiple Jira next-gen boards. Next gen boards have allowed our teams to ramp up quickly and start working independently however they are designed for a single team use case.
I would like to configure a Jira project so that each squad has its own view of the backlog, work in progress, and allow us to run sprints in parallel. Having read through the documentation and some of the community posts, it seems to me that one way of supporting this is:
- Set up a new jira project
- Configure each squad as a component
- Create individual boards for each squad using the component as a filter
In the community's opinion would this allow for us to run the squads in parallel effectively?
Each squad would have their own:
- Stand ups
- Sprints (and associated sprint ceremonies such as planning, review, and retro)
Does my jira configuration approach make sense?
