The New Jira - how can I handle several projects in one board?

Charlotte Arndt Munthe

In the New Jira it seems that 1 project = 1 board, is it somehow possible to create a board with several projects?

We are a development team working on maintaining 8 apps (4 iOS and 4 Android) and we have created a project for each app, hence we have 8 projects. We have a scrum board for the iOS developers, which consists of the 4 iOS projects and a similar scrum board for the Android developers consisting of the 4 Android boards.

We run sprints and we always have tasks for all the apps in the sprints. How do we create a board for the developers using the New Jira? The developers all work on all projects so we need one board to run the backlog and the sprints for our apps...

Any ideas?

project and boards still have a many to many relation. You can create a board pointing to many projects or you can multiple boards in the same project.

In your case, you can create a board and pick multiple projects while doing that or create a filter that is required and use the filter while creating a board.

You might want to do the later if you want to filter issues based on other fields like teams or components or something else.

Thanks a lot :-)

So, I am not clear here - would that mean we would have to setup a new project just to hold the aggregated board and then have the sprint team use that board? Seems a bit round about way to give the team access to a multi-project board ...

No, you can create boards from existing filters or projects, you don't have to create a new project.

from yor project view of the issue navigator Simply use a JQL filter that involvese all the projects you need:

Click on "Board"->"Configure"

Filter Query project = ("Proj 1" OR "Proj n") ORDER BY Rank ASC

Yes, I know that. but the view is for a different project. lets say that I'm in "Android App" project while the board is assigned to "iOS App" project. so I need to be in the screen of "iOS App" project all the time, so I can see the board. it doesn't sound native to me. is that mean JIRA wants us to maintain board per project ?

Alex Blanton

We setup a project just to house one of our development teams - call it Alpha Team - and use a merged project board of all their project work. However, in JIRA you will have to go into each project separately to manage versions, epics, and components. I think this is a fatal flaw as the reality is we have versions, epics and components that span projects and teams, but there is no way to manage this in JIRA.

Yes , I fully understand that point. its seems to me that any solution is not clean.
