Boards in business project type

Question

Hi guys, 
My marketing team wants to a separate project with the ability to visualize their work on on a kanban board.
Can I create a business type project, or do I have to use jira software? Is it possible to connect boards to the business project type?

Thanks :)

Hi Paulina,

You can create a second board with Jira Software that can be used against your Jira Work Management project. Here is an article to help you with that.

adding to this...

Note that Jira Work Management projects do have their own kanban-ish Board feature built in.

The functionality is not the same as the Kanban board available with Software projects.

Whether or not you marketing team should use a JWM or JSW project depends on their needs. Many people find that the JWM projects are more intuitive and easier to use for non-technical/non-developer types of users. Each type of project and board has its own limitations.

I was also wondering if it is good practice to create for the marketing team a "software" type project.
