How can I create a board specific to a component in Jira?

Question

Hi,

In our project, we have 4 components. Currently, board display all issues regardless of the component. I want to configure a separate board for each component so that each board shows only issues related to a specific component.

How can this be configured in Jira?

On top of previous answers, also think about what to do when no component has been selected on an item. If you configure only 4 boards like @Shalini Pradhan , you will not see items without a component.

So either make a fifth board to show items without components or change the JQLs to:

project = YOURPROJECT AND (component = "C1" or component IS EMPTY)

Last remark: if you have multiple components selected on an item, the item will be visible on multiple boards.

Hi @Naresh Sampath , adding to this are you using Team or Company managed projects? If Team then you will need to create boards using your Personal profile as the "Location" rather that the project/space in question. TMP really doesn't support multiple boards, at least like it does in CMP.

Hello @Naresh Sampath ,

Good day! Welcome to Atlassian Community :)

In Jira, boards are based on filter query ( JQL ) set. If you want to configure a separate board for each component so that each board shows only issues related to a specific component, you can set the filter query of each board to show work items associated with that component.

For example, you have 4 components, C1, C2, C3 and C4

Steps:

First, create 4 new filters

* Navigate to https://yoursite.atlassian.net/jira/filters 
* Create Filter and add JQL query: project = YOURPROJECT AND component = "C1"
* You can keep the query as component = "C1" as well if you dont want to include any project
* Name it as something like Board for Component C1
* Similarly create filters for rest of the component

Secondly, create 4 new boards

* Navigate to https://yoursit.atlassian.net/jira/boards
* Create a new board

Go to Boards → Create board

Choose Scrum or Kanban (based on your process)

Select Board from an existing project or Board from a saved filter

* Configure the board filter and select filter, lets say for first board, select Board for Component C1
* Similarly create rest 3 boards

You can create these boards and place it under your profile itself, not under any project if your main concern is visualisation.

Thank you
