Jira Scrum board versus Jira Plans Scrum

anne.gerten

Hi,

 

I have been using Jira Scrum boards in my Jira Project to plan my team's sprints.

We recently started using Jira Plans. So I created a Program board under my Jira plan, which now also allows me to plan Scrums for this particular plan.

Now my question is, are these 2 Scrum board independent of each other? Or can I pull the Project Scrum board data somehow into the Jira Plan scrum board? (As I am trying to avoid doing sprint planning twice).

 

Thanks.

Greetings, just wanted to chime in on a possible solution from our product, Agile Hive.

Your question touches on one of the common challenges teams run into when moving from team-level Scrum boards in Jira Software to program-level planning in Jira Plans (formerly Advanced Roadmaps).

Out of the box, Jira doesn’t fully synchronize Scrum board sprint data with program boards in Plans. This often means you end up maintaining sprint information in two places, which is exactly the duplicate effort you want to avoid.

This is where our solution Agile Hive can come in. Agile Hive is designed specifically to connect team-level boards with program- and portfolio-level planning in Jira. Instead of doing sprint planning twice, Agile Hive provides:

Automatic roll-up of team sprint data into Program and ART Planning Boards.

A clear SAFe-aligned hierarchy (Teams → ARTs → Portfolio), so planning scales without losing the connection to execution.

Dedicated ART/PI Planning boards that eliminate the disconnect you’re seeing between Scrum boards and Jira Plans.

If your organization is starting to scale agile practices beyond a single team, Agile Hive could help streamline planning and ensure everyone works from a single source of truth inside Jira. I'm certain you'll get some other great options, but if you're interested, please feel free to reach out to us...thanks!
