One frustrating thing that many people have come across with their business projects as well as team manage projects (TMP) is that you can apparently only have a single board. And with business projects these boards are very basic and non-configurable. Many people want to use these projects but want the flexibility of the fully configurable boards.
I see this question all the time in the community and there seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding that you can’t have a fully featured kanban or scrum board on these projects. However that is not the case. The below instructions will show you how you can add one (or more) of these fully configurable boards to these projects. It is worth noting that it is not the most ideal solution but it does work. At least today it does.😉
The crux of the solution is to use your profile as the Location for the board since a Business or TMP software project will not be an available option under Location.
- create a filter that references the Business or TMP project and any desired conditions and save it
- go to all Boards view and select create board
- choose either Kanban or scrum
- select existing filter
- enter filter, name the board and for Location choose your profile (very bottom of list)
- save it
- board created. Copy the URL
- go to your TMP project and click +Add shortcut and paste the URL into web address
- result - you have a link to your new board
- configure the board to share as desired and any other configuration options desired.
The one con here is that the board doesn’t naturally associate to your project and appear as “the” board for the project. It won’t replace the default board but rather is a separate board and clicking the link redirects away from the project screen. However it otherwise works fine.
another possible limitation associated with ‘personal scrum boards’ is the following issue (thanks to @Bill Sheboy a for the contribution) - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-21584
