My team works with an external dev team. we both user Cloud Jira.  I need to combine the external teams and my teams data in one board?

Hi @Jeff Pfankuch

there's no native way to achieve that, but there are several apps in Atlassian's marketplace addressing this use case in different ways:

* Use a Board across both Jiras
The app Watchtower offers boards which show issues from different Jira's in one overview. The Dashboad Hub for Jira also offers hybrid dashboards with data from other instances (but more in a graphical way). 
* Synchronize issues between your Jira instances
There are several issue sync apps available. They allow you to configure different rules to control which issue types and fields you want to synchronize and many more options.
Once the issues are sync'ed to your instance, you can easily report with the native Jira ways on them.

I hope that's a start into some solution for you.

Cheers,
Matthias.

PS: I'm part of the team behind Backbone Issue Sync - such an issue sync app.

Hi @Jeff Pfankuch ,

Thanks @Matthias Gaiser _K15t_ for the mention of Dashboard Hub for Jira :)

If you are to sync the issues of two instances, solutions like Backbone Issue sync or Exalate are reliable options.

On the other hand, if you prefer just to display issues from other instance, Dashboard Hub allows the creation of a single dashboard with information coming from other Jira/Confluence/Bitbucket/... instances, and from both, Cloud or Data Center.

And these dashboard can be shared with external stakeholders with just a click, like these examples: Agile Team dashboard, DevOps dashboard, ITSM dashboard.

Hope this helps!
