Search by board type/schema type

Question

I am new to a company and they have asked me to look at creating some standards for projects.  I am trying to search all projects for schema type (Kanban vs Scrum).  There has to a way to do this without going into each project and looking at issue types, right?

Thanks

Here's an example of what Nic mentioned.  This kanban board is located within EngOps project, but it sees the Enterprise Backlog project as well, as long as there is a component of ENGOPS on the Enterprise Backlog Ticket.

If you check the board settings you should see something like this in the General tab.  If the "Projects in board" area says it can't determine the projects because you haven't listed any, you'll want to fix your query.  There are other articles on how to do that.

You can easily change the location of this board by clicking the location field (top of my screenshot) and selecting a new one. It changes nothing except where the board is located, it will still show only the tickets that meet the filter query criteria.

On top of that, the boards for company-managed projects are not even "in" the projects - you can have boards that select issues from many projects, and different boards can select the same issues.

You could easily set up a case where issues ABC-456 and XYZ-123 appear on both a scrum and a kanban board, meaning the projects ABC and XYZ are both Kanban and Scrum at the same time...

Projects aren't based on that in a way you can easily utilize - you can have both scrum and kanban (those are board types) in any project.  So, when you make a project it's Team Managed (next-gen) OR Company Managed (aka Classic).  Inside that, you'll have boards - which are just a view of tickets and use different criteria for making tickets visible.
(Kanban boards use Status as their criteria, Scrum use the Sprint Field and whether the sprint is open or not).

If you're using a Team Managed project, you don't get nearly as many options - and the features are toggled off/on inside the project settings, but the projects themselves are not actually Kanban or Scrum.
