I would like to set up a Kanban board where my todo column consists of the top 50 ranked issues with the Open status. Is there a JQL statement that can accomplish that?
There's no specific way to get TOP <n> functionality in JIRA. Assuming you're willing to include all the rest you can just set your Rapid Board JQL to select the projects or issues you care about, for e.g.
project in (x,y,z)
Then have the first column in your Rapid Board include the 'Open' status only.
Thanks,Shaun
If we did just include all the open issues, that would simply get too huge, as there are a couple hundred open issues. Project/Process organization aside, this is something that we're going to have to live with.
Ideally, when planning for what issues go into the TODO column on our Kanban board, we'd like to review the ranking of the issues, rather than having to explicitly tag an issue (status, fix version, label, etc) to fit the Kanban board's query. Having to do the latter can lead to quite a bit of legwork, even with bulk changing.
I'm not 100% sure of your situation. Are you trying to push every single issue that goes in to your instance through this Kanban board?
One option might be to use a filter that excludes things you don't care about any more. For example:
label != Triaged
This Rapid Board will now not show items that are labelled 'Triaged'. You can then use the board to rank the issues then apply the label. You could do this a little more neatly by adding a Triaged step to your workflow, you can then have one Rapid Board for Triage which has columns 'ToDo' and 'Triaged', all other Rapid Boards would then start from 'Triaged'.
Does that sound like what you're looking to do?
Right - we actually do something similar right now. Right now, in our planning, there are two steps - reviewing the ranking of our issues and explicitly identifying stories to show up on our Kanban board. I was hoping that all we would have to do is review the ranking and avoid the second step.
