Move story swimlane to bottom of board when Status=Done

Scrum Flower Boy

Yo,

We use many story swimlanes in one of our projects. Usually, a sprint has 5-6 different swimlanes. Is it possible to move a swimlane to the bottom of the board automatically when its status is set to done (e.g. all of its tasks have been moved to the Done column)?

@Scrum Flower Boy, it sounds like you are looking to present swimlanes based upon 2 methods: Stories and queries. Something like this:

story 1
story 2
story 3
status = done

This is not possible you only get one method. If you want to stay w/ Stories then you should, as you mentioned in the response to Nic, create a couple of quick filters:

Hide Done - status != Done
Done - status = Done

IMO, if you are using swimlane by stories then you certainly want to see the done in the swimlane not moved to the bottom once done. Using a QF to hide done is a common scenario to help focus on what remains.

Swimlane order can't be changed dynamically.

But you can change the tickets in that swimlane to move down, via JQL settings of a swimlane.

The only way to do this would be to include the status as part of a swimlane filter.

Do you mean that the tickets will move down in the specific swimlane? Can you elaborate more on that?

Scrum Flower Boy

You mean to create a quick filter which allows people to display only swimlanes with an "IN PROGRESS" status?

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

You can do that, but I was suggesting that you put the clause into the swimlane definition.

Thanks, I'll try with quick filters and see if this will be enough for our teams. I sure hope so!

Report:

Quick filters worked perfectly. All the teams are happy with them and it solved their problems.

Thanks!
