Moving task between boards

Akakiy Zilbirshtein

Hi, community!

 

I have a rather complex development process, and if it were placed on one board, it would have more than 15 columns (statuses). Hence, I want to split this process into 2 or 3 separate boards (e.g., analysis, dev, qa) within one project, so tasks should be automatically moved between these boards. Is it possible to implement?

Hi @Akakiy Zilbirshtein

 

Short answer is yes. You would set up the boards to run on a similar filter and then only set up the columns you want with the final column on board one overlapping with board two so an issue is always visible.

The long answer is your workflow sounds far too long and NEEDS to be addressed. 15 statuses is one hell of a hefty flow. The happy path guideline states we should be aiming for a flow of around 8 statuses max. A large workflow like this wont create a great user experience and could cause developers to get annoyed very quickly. This may be more of a process change then a technical change.
