Can we add sprint to a business project?

Vini Vijayvargiya

Hi,

We are trying to create a project for project management which can drill down to the lowest level and also allows us to create sprints from there. Is it possible? Currently, we are managing a separate software project that allows us to create sprint but we can't track it as part of overall project management.

Thanks.

Hi @Vini Vijayvargiya Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Process Management project template is different from Software Development project template. In Process Management, you don't an option to create Scrum or Kanban board.

Even if you add a Sprint field, you can't get an option to select Sprints which are created in Software project. If you have Sprint planning then go for Scrum Project.

Thanks

Not quite, but you can get a partial impartial implementation of it.

Sprints do not belong to projects, they are artefacts of a Scrum board. Process Management projects don't have Scrum boards, so you can't do it that way.

But you can create a Scrum board in a Software project (or a personal board). These boards can be based on filters, so if you write a filter for "Project = my business project" and create your board using that, you'll get a Scrum board, and hence the ability to use sprints with your business project issues in it. You may have to think about adding estimation fields to your project, look at the project permissions for people, and how the workflow is mapped onto the board.

We added Epics and Versions to a Business Project - while not perfect, it allows us to capture large projects as Epics, and we can roll work up into our quarterly roadmap (as the Version). For background, most of my company uses Software Projects on Development and Engineering teams. My team uses a Business Project as we are closer to Project Management. We don't operate within releases and thus we don't have the need for a rigid sprint structure.

Thanks @Dave Buitenhek

Was trying to integrate software projects and business project for overall visibility, so this helps.

I am new to Jira, will you be able to share screenshot or example for this. I tried but couldn't really see that level of detail.

Vini Vijayvargiya

Thanks @Vikrant Yadav

Screenshots won't help you

As I already said, but with a bit more text:

Create. a filter that includes the project you want, and save it

Go to your-work -> boards -> view all boards -> create board (personal or in a project)

Create a board from your filter

Hi All,

We have created a Business Project in JIRA.

Can anyone please help me on the below asap.

1. Not able to create the Sprint

2. Not able to see the backlog option

Thanks

Gowtam

It's the same answer - you'll need to create a Software board that includes it, from another project.

Just want to add that this would be nice. At minimum, it would be great if a software project's Kanban board design matched that of the Business Process project. It makes no sense that they differ. Business Project's kanban boards are just so much more visually appealing. You have far more control over how cards are displayed, what fields can be used, etc. It makes no sense to keep these designs distinct
