2 Jira Scrum Boards with same Filter. Cannot start sprint on second board.

anne.gerten

Hi all,

we have setup 2 Jira Scrum Boards in the same project. Both use the same filter.

We created sprint1 in Board1, and the sprint started fine.

Now we created sprint2 in Board2, but there is no option to start the sprint. Also, sprint1 from Board1 shows in the board, which I think is expected.

I have admin permission in both boards.

How can I start sprint2 on Board2?

Thanks!

Hi @anne.gerten ,

since both boards use the same filter, sprints are not exclusive to one board. Sprint 1 from Board 1 is also visible on Board 2, and vice versa.

Jira does not allow two active sprints in the same project on the same filter unless the sprints are in different boards with unique filters.

Please have a look at this article:

What is the usecase for your 2 Scrum boards?

Hi @anne.gerten

is the parallel sprints setting activated in your instance?

anne.gerten

No parallel sprints. We don't want to enable that.

It should be possible though to have one active sprint per board without parallel sprints, per my understanding.

Lucas Knorr

Thats true. Can you share some screenshots from your backlog please?

anne.gerten

Backlog would be exactly the same for both boards, since same filter is used. Anything in particular you want to know about the backlog?

Use case for 2 boards is that we have one larger team working on same group of tickets. We want to run different sprints for sub groups of that team.

I also tried to update the filter for the second board, it still did not allow me to start the sprint.

Board1 using Filter1--> project = PROJECT1 ORDER BY Rank ASC
Board2 using Filter2--> project = PROJECT1 and component = COMPONENT1 ORDER BY Rank ASC

So filters are different, while filter2 returns a subset of filter1 results.

It still does not let me start a sprint in Board2. Is that expected? (Maybe it is expected, because filters are different, but don't return unique results..)

Mike Maurer

Yes, I think the filter results have to be unique.

You can try it out by creating a test-issue with a unique label.

For filter 1 / Board 1 you can exclude issues with this label.

For filter 2 / Board 2 or Test-Board you include the filter.
