One board for each team working on several initiatives under one project

syed_imon

I know its complicated and sounds complex.

Let me explain. 

If a company has created a one project under which we have multiple teams working.

For each team there is a separate board. 

Now reporting has become a nightmare. 

Jira reporting tools and workflows are not that user or eye friendly. 

So many options for even a little things.

What is the best solution for reporting purposes? I want to find out the information on one initiative down till its tasks and subtasks. All info and tracking is required.

Hello @syed_imon 

Your tags on your post indicate you are using the Standard product plan. With the Standard product plan the issue type hierarchy is

Epic
|-- standard level issue types (i.e. Task, Story, Bug)
    |-- subtask level issue types

Can you tell us where in that hierarchy you have added "Initiative"?

Can you provide a screen image of the Issue Type Hierarchy set up for your instance, if it is different from above? You can find that at 

https://<your base url>/jira/settings/issues/issue-hierarchy

I ask because I wonder if you are actually using a Premium product plan and have built the issue type hierarchy up to add levels above Epic for Initiatives.

If you are, in fact, using only the Standard product plan then we need to understand how your Initiative issue type is part of your issue hierarchy, and how you connect other issues to it to indicate that they are "children" of the Initiative. Then we will be better able to provide advice on how to get reports on the work related to your initiatives.
