Manage multiple sprint (multiple board) for the same project

Question

Hi

I am currently using team managed project.

For a Project A - we have created a Board B1.  We are currently in Sprint 18

Now since we have another line of delivery, we wanted to create a new board under the same project B2.

I have used the JQL filter to create the board B2.

I need to be able to manage the Sprint for B2, to be started as Sprint 1.

However, the B2 is also showing up as Sprint 18. And I am unable to complete the sprint in B2.

Any thoughts please ?

I am unclear what you mean by "using the JQL for creating the new board under the same project" as team-managed projects (TMP) can currently only have one board.  Would you please clarify?

One work-around is to use a filter for the TMP issues to create a board located in either a company-managed project (CMP) or an individual person's profile.  Both of those are problematic as many of the features of boards may be incompatible due to field differences.  For example, CMP and TMP use different fields for story points and so reporting related to story points will not work as expected.

Hi - Using Company managed project is not an option since we will have to recreate fields and move the issues is a big pain.

Would you suggest using the JQL for creating the new board under the same project and use the link in the shortcut as a workaround ?

I saw this as one of the suggestion from in one of the forums.

Hi @Adishesh Seshagiri -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There is a suggestion to add multiple boards support for team-managed projects, however it appears that work has paused (as of May 2022).  Please see the suggestion for additional details: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17371

The suggested work-around is to use a company-managed project instead.

Kind regards,
