VERY URGENT : Need useful inputs

Preem Prakassh Dayaal

Hi SMEs

I need some inputs both on agile practice and Jira mapping 

Scenario :  There is a product A 

Team 1 : Product A has Product Management Team comprising of Product Owner and Product Managers 

 

Team 2 : Product A has a Tech Team or engineering Team who implement and release change

Team 1 and Team 2 both collaborate and are tightly couple however stories come from Team 1 to Team 2 at the same time Team 1 also collaborates during UAT of Team 2 

Questions 

1. What is the best way to handle these teams ? Shoud we have in Jira separate boards and backlogs ?/

2. Should we have a common board however which is the best way to segragate and classify stories ? Should we use components ? 

3. Should there be independent active sprints and then a common catch up to sync up between teams as well 

 

Any valuable inputs shall help

Regards

Preem

A general rule is that a board represents a team and the work a team needs to do.

As you've got two teams here, I would strongly recommend following that - have one board per team, and run their sprints separately.

If you have a workflow that is 

To do -> In development -> ready to deploy -> being deployed -> done

Then set up two boards.  The first would be for the developers and say

• To do: To do
• In progress:  In development
• Done: ready to deploy, being deployed, and done

The second board is for the implementation team and should be

• To do: ready to deploy
• In progress: being deployed
• Done: done
