How to create independent sprint cycles for different boards within same JIRA project?

Prajwal Roy

Currently facing a challenge with our JIRA setup:

• Have multiple boards under the same project.
• All boards are sharing the same sprint cycle and duration (2 weeks).
• Need to create independent sprint cycles for different boards.
• Don't have JIRA admin access to modify settings.

Current limitations:

• When creating a new board, it automatically syncs with the main board's sprint.
• Completing a sprint in one board affects all boards.
• Unable to set different sprint durations.

 

Looking for solutions that don't require admin access or specific settings that admin needs to modify to enable independent sprints.

Hi @Prajwal Roy, welcome to Community.

To solve it you have to set two JQL filters, one for board A and one for board B, that way you select the issues you want to manage in one board and in the other. Because if both have the same filter you will get the same sprints in both (due to the sprint field of the issues).

To do this you have to find a criterion to select the issues in board A and those in board B. For example use Component: ComponentA and ComponentB, so that the issues are associated to their corresponding Component.

Steps to follow:

1. Create a JQL search for board A, example:

project = ABC and Component in (ComponentA) ORDER BY Rank ASC

2. Save as a filter for board A.

3. Assign filter to board A.

4. Create JQL search for board B, example:

project = ABC and Component in (ComponentB) ORDER BY Rank ASC

5. Save as a filter for board B.

6. Assign filter to board B.

With this you can now create and manage independent sprints on each board and assign the issues to their corresponding sprints.

I hope this is helpful, best regards!
