How can I show issues from two Scrum boards in one Jira Timeline?

Question

Details:

• Jira version: Cloud Premium (Advanced Roadmaps enabled)
• Boards:

IB Board – Dev (Filter: project = IB AND component = Dev)

IB Board – Ops (Filter: project = IB AND component = Ops)

• What I’ve tried:

Created a new Plan, added both boards as separate issue sources

Confirmed each board individually populates the Plan

Switched boards on the Timeline view – still only one board’s issues appear
• Expected outcome: Issues from both boards should display together in the same timeline.
• Actual outcome: The Timeline only ever shows one board’s issues.
• Screenshots/JQL: (attach here)

Question:
Has anyone managed to combine multiple Scrum boards into a single Jira Timeline or Advanced Roadmaps plan? If so, what configuration or JQL do you use? Are there limitations I’m not aware of?

Hi @El

You can use boards as issue sources in the configuration of Advanced Roadmap Plans.
(use the cogwheel to access the configuration of the plan).

Otherwise, you can use a combination of the board filters :
project = IB and component in (DEV, Ops)

Kind regards,

@El a simple thing you could do is to set up the board data source as a filter using:

project = IB AND component IN (Ops, Dev)
