Change Board Type from KanBan to Scrum?

Timothy Harris

Is it possible to change an existing boards type?

We have a KanBan board for a project. They want to move to a Scrum work flow. It would be great if we could simply change the type of the board so we could get the plan view...

Now we have to create a whole new Scrum board and set up all the columns, quick filters, etc...

It is not possible, your need to recreate it with the same filter.

Quite the shame, but it is what it is. Thanks for the answer :-)

Yes, that is quite depressing. Thanks though.

For the purposes of keeping score, I'd like to see this feature also.

@Timothy Harris and others, maybe this can help - https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Questions/How-do-I-change-a-kanban-board-to-be-scrum-instead/qaq-p/396517

If you landed here because you want the Project Settings to change (they are different for Kanban and Scrum projects) you may be interested in Atlassian's suggestion for how to migrate between these project types.

switch between broad type possible ? Kanban or Scrum , Please guide

Note that these instructions are about migrating between NextGen and Classic. In both NextGen and Classic you can have Kanban or Scrum.

So, would it not be possible to create new projects and move all issues to the new project?

If you create a kanban board off the scrum projects thats all and well but the sprint fields are still in the background annoying me as admin cos theyre not being used.

Projects are just projects. They are neither Scrum nor Kanban. The boards you build off of a project are what are Scrum or Kanban.

The fields and workflows set up for a project are also separate from being Scrum or Kanban. They can be set up however you need them to be. If you don't like the fields, work with your Jira administrators to remove them.

If a development team wants to switch from Scrum to Kanban, or vice versa, setting up a whole new project and migrating, what could be 100s of tickets, is a lot more effort than just building a new board. Its still time consuming to build a new board, which is why this thread has asked, for years, for Atlassian to make it possible to switch a board from Scrum to Kanban, but I wouldn't recommend creating a new project to solve the issue either.

The title of this page (and what appears in Google's search results) is "Solved: Change Board Type from KanBan to Scrum?". Clearly it is NOT solved as there's no answer - and there are several related/identical questions to the same effect?

Any Atlassian product managers on here?
