How to sort issues in kanban board by projects?

Robin Bendfeldt

Hi community,

 

in my company we have different projects/products and one development team. We plan one sprint with issues from different projects. We have a project to manage to get a overview for all projects to plan one sprint inside of it.

How can I apply a quick filter to the kanban board that sorts the issues by project and not by type of the issue?

@Robin Bendfeldt There are a couple of things you can do. Go to the board, then Board settings (3 dots in the top right)

Option 1: Click on Quick Filters in the left menu, and you can create a JQL statement per project. E.g. project = ABC. You will need to do this for every project that may be represented on the board's issues.

When you're back on the board, by clicking on one of these quick filters, you will hide all other tasks which don't match the entered JQL.

Option 2: Click on Swimlanes on the left menu, then in the "Base swimlanes on" dropdown, select 'projects'. This will still show all issues on the board and won't hide any, but it will split the projects into horizonal grouped sections.

I would recommend Option 2 (Swimlanes), as there is less maintenance going forward - e.g. if a new project if referenced on the board, you would need to create a new quick filter, but you would not need to create another swimlane if you were using project-filtered swimlanes
