How to show sprints on multiple timelines

Question

I'm not using Advanced Roadmaps, just a normal Jira software project.

I have 2 boards that I now want to combine into one. I've managed to get everything into the new board with a filter except the sprints don't show on the timeline view. They are in the backlog and active sprints view fine but because I didn't create the sprints from this board, the sprint row at the top of the timeline is empty. Is it possible to fix this?

Hi @Catriona Wright

Yes, the free roadmap option Jira offers, Timeline, doesn't allow you to allow for more than 1 Sprint (or drill down to Subtask level and a couple other limitations).

Advanced Roadmaps offers this, but then you'd have to upgrade your Jira plan.

Full disclosure, I work at Visor, and we have a free option to work around this. Our Gantt view allows you to pull in more than one Jira Project / Board using JQL. Visor is free to use (up to 250 records) and we have bi-directional syncing with Jira. So, you can pretty much visualize your live Jira data that way:

I hope that helps!
