Issue count after migrating scrum to kanban

John Blythe

hi, all.

we've been doing a scrumban sort of approach to our workflow for a while now, but have stuck it out with the scrum board. i'm trying to now move over to a kanban board for the sake of simplicity and less emphasis on sprint dates / more emphasis on the CI aspect.

the problem is that i have some 5000 issues now showing up in my kanban board. i think i could handle this by updating my filter query to be a bit more robust, but my confusion comes in at the point that my scrum rapid board view shows only 45 total issues, 11 in the current sprint and the rest in the backlog. when i use that same query for kanban i still get the excessive 5k issue count.

tldr: my kanban board is super bloated yet my scrum board isn't, this despite having the same filter query in place for both boards.

thanks for any info!

Your Scrum board probably has at least one status not mapped to any columns.

May you check it on Board > Configure > Columns?

If that's the case, replicate the same status <> column mapping in your kanban board and, voilà! The same issue count should be expected.

Hope it helps.

Hi John

What status are these extra issues in? Taking a few as examples, have these already been worked on, or are they in the backlog?

i moved some things around on the columns and it's definitely shaping up. thanks! more info posted below, too

mainly in the todo/queued column and Done column.

i've got the to-do and queued sorted out for now, i think, per @Ignacio Peluffo's suggestion, but the Done column is still a bit wonky.

in my Scrum column definitions i have 673 DONE and 4241 RESOLVED. yet none of them show up in my scrum board's backlog, they only show up in their respective column (i have Done and Resolved statuses split in the same Done column) when they're part of a current sprint.

in the kanban board, however, i have my columns configuration page showing 193 resolved and 0 done. yet in the actual live kanban board view i have 95 total entries. this, too, is after updating the filter query to have `resolution != 'Resolved` in it.

scratching my head on this one.

Another factor that might be causing discrepancies in the issue count between boards is that Scrum's backlog won't show any issues which status is mapped to the last (most-right) column.

Also note that Scrum backlogs do not show issues of type sub-task.
