Creating a cross-project feature Kanban board

Chris Dixon_jr4hqd

Hey All,

We have multiple projects currently ongoing that all have dependent epics that deliver a feature.

We're wanting to create a Kanban board which would be cross-project but with swimlanes for each of the features we're wanting to deliver so we're able to better track.

Some features are not cross cutting and using FixVersion to capture these works fine however all of the cross cutting work we can't seem to group by FixVersion - Does anyone have any tips on how we could achieve this.

Thanks for any help

You can configure a board by query, story, assignee, feature, or project:

• Board/configure/swimlanes
• By query, define each swim lane by project, ie project = projectname1 so that you can see each project in its own swim lane or grouped into swim lanes as you see fit.

The FixVersion would not affect the swim lanes unless you add it to the query, which would make the swim lane view fixed to that FixVersion. A better solution could be configuring quickview to show specific FixVersions:

• Board/configure/quickview
• JQL:
  • fixversion = name1 
  • fixVersion is EMPTY
  • fixVersion in unreleasedVersions()

Using both swimlane and quickviews allows view able projects AND FixVersions as needed. 

 

Hope this helps
