Linking KanBan boards

Question

My department is re-organized and 2 different divisions merged. We have 2 KanBan boards. The first board is about website development and the second KanBan board is about text creation and editing of different target market websites. The first board has 2 users and the second board has 10 users.

I'm thinking of a 'parent' board linked to 2 sub-boards. Each user has their own board so that they can assign their own story point and sort their backlog. I want to see all tasks in the Parent board as Project manager.

If it is possible, how I'm going to create it?

This is possible but the steps on how to do it would depend on what type of instance you are using and what type of Project. Boards are really just a view for Jira Filters. Many people often use one board and just use Quick Filters to view their own issue, or the default "Current User" quick filter which shows on the current users issues

I would actually recommend just making one board and configuring it with how the individual users are using it all from one place. These 2 articles should help get that started
