Manage scrum boards cleanly for each sub-team

Venkatesh Sirpurker

We are a large central team of 28 engineers working on multiple projects in small groups of 3-5 dedicated members for each project. Since we are a single team, we are supposed to manage these sub-teams under single project but separate sprints. We are able to create multiple boards & a sprint for each sub-team. But we are unable to link a sprint with certain board and it is leading to huge confusion. Is there a way that a given scrum team (sub-team) can see their own issues and backlog and not see other sub-teams backlog while all sub-teams being under a single project.

Hi Venkatesh,

Each sprint is tied to a specific board, and since you have multiple boards for different sub-teams, the best approach is to implement a custom field to designate the responsible team when an issue is created. You can either have users set this field manually or automate its population based on predefined criteria.

Once the custom field is in place, you can use it as a filter for each board’s query to ensure that only relevant issues appear.

For example, if you have three sub-teams: Team-1, Team-2, and Team-3, you should configure your boards as follows:

- Board for Team-1: Filter issues where custom_field = Team-1

- Board for Team-2: Filter issues where custom_field = Team-2

- Board for Team-3: Filter issues where custom_field = Team-3

This setup will allow each sub-team to see only their own issues and backlog while keeping everything under a single project. Let me know if you need further clarification.

Hope it helps!
