Creating Seperate Boards for Deisgn and Development work

Question

HI There, Hoping someone can help...

I basically want to have separate views/boards for Design and Dev work so that I can use independent WIP limits for each area but am still be able to see everything in the backlog.

I tried using the following filter...

project = XYZ AND type IN (Bug, Story, "Tech Debt", Task, "Documentation Task") AND sprint IN openSprints()

I get the view I want in the current sprint tab but when I go to the backlog tab the filter is applied there too and I can see none of my backlog items.

Is there a way to keep the full backlog view in the backlog tab as I don't really want to have to create another board just to be able to look at the backlog.

TIA for any help.

Thx for confirming Mikael

Yes, if you go with a single board the limit would apply to all work items even if you use quick filter, so in that case 3 boards would be the option.

Hey Mikael, thx for the quick response, really appreciate it. I was guessing I'd have to do 3 boards but hoping there was a way not to :D ...

I'd thought of the filter options but not sure if that would work for the WIP limits aspect, I was guessing that even with filtering the WIP limit would still apply to all tickets in that state , or does it apply only to the filters items
