Is it possible to to show only certain Sprints in the Backlog view?

James Woyciesjes

I have a team that would like to only show certain Sprints in a Backlog view.

In one Jira project, they have multiple teams and so have created color coded sprint naming (see image for actual example).

Ex.: Sprint 1 Blue Team, Sprint 1 Orange Team, etc.

They have asked if it is possible to filter the Backlog view so that you only see Planned and Active sprints for a particular team.

For example, I only want to see the Sprint backlog for the Blue Team.

JQL(?): Sprint ~ "*Blue*"

To my knowledge, there is no way to hide Sprints on a board. What we have done at my org is for each team to have their own board that only displays their issues. We create the sprints on the individual boards, but then also have a combined board that shows all of the issues that would show up across the other boards. This brings all of the sprints into a single board view, but the teams can, if they choose, only look at their own team board so they only see their own sprints.

@Matt Parks This sounds great! How do you set up "each team to have their own board that only displays their issues"?

Oh, I think I get it. I created a new team board (using a label filter) and messed around with putting sprints in it vs in the main board. I was confused at first as to why sometimes the sprint showed up in one place but not in another. But if I'm getting this right, an empty sprint will show only in the board in which it was created, while a non-empty sprint can appear in any board in which the sprint's issues are included in the board filter. Is that correct?

Matt Parks

That is correct.

The way we configure each team board is to write the filter so that it only pulls in work items that have that team in the Team field. Since the Team field is required, it's not possible for a work item to show up on multiple team boards (since you can only have one Team associated with a work item).
