How do I create a scrum board when I already built a Kanban board?

Question

I've already built a Kanban board but also want to go and create a scrum board to initiate sprints as well.

I've gone to boards and clicked created a new board (1) from an existing project, but when I go to select the location (2), I cannot see the correct project/location, I only see other teams' projects not my own.

Is there an issue with the settings?

You add filters to boards, not projects. The filter will include the project.

Thanks John! How do I go about adding a filter to a project?

Hi Daphne - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What type of project is this? Team-managed?

If so, you will need to create a filter for the Team-managed project, something like Project = ABC ORDER by Rank ASC where ABC is the project key for your Team-managed project. Be sure to save the filter and share it. Or you can use an existing filter if one exists with the same issues in it.

Go to your list of boards and click on Create board

Choose Scrum

Choose create based on an existing Filter.

Then attach it to the new filter you just created.

For the Location field, you will not be able to use a Team-managed or Business project - only Classic Software projects. Or you can link to your profile - probably best in this case. But this will not keep the board from working - it really only cares about the project(s) in the filter.

Then you are all set. You can modify the board as you need to.
