Can tasks / epics in a project be included in a sprint thats run in another project?

Sirish Minapalli

Hi everyone,

 I manage multiple projects in Jira and run Sprints in Software project. The team members part of Sprint also have some tasks in another project that they want to track in sprint. The tasks are loosely related to some items in Sprint and hence the need. 

Is it possible to include tasks from different projects into a Sprint run in a project ?

If not could you provide alternate suggestions ?

Thanks

Hello @Sirish Minapalli 

Can you include? - Yes. By modifying your board filter.

Should you include? - Strong inclination towards no. 

Apart from it not being correct way to do things, as in, task is some where else, you want that in your sprint... other logistical problem is...

Sprint is not  tied to any board or project. When a sprint is assigned to an issue, and issue is present in multiple boards, all boards will have that Sprint.

So if you modify you board filter, get that issue to show up in your board and assign it to a sprint, that sprint will also show up in the other board.

Long story, you dont want this experience.
