Only allow certatins statuses to be added to sprint

Question

We created a new status in our workflow called "DOR". This means that the User Story meets the "Definition of Ready" and we want that only issues in this status can be added to our sprint.

Our workflow looks like this:
Open -> DOR -> In Progress -> Testing -> Pre -> Done

Obviously we need the status "Open" in this board so that the POs are able to see issues in their backlog after they were created.

We are already forcing the workflow to go trough the status "DOR" but we want to avoid that people add the issues to their sprint first, start the sprint and only after this move the issues to the "DOR".

How can we do this?

That would restrict the board to only show DOR tickets and if they move the issue during the sprint, they would lose it.

So instead a more appropriate filter would be status in (All other statuses) or as suggested by @Tarun Sapra

Hey,

You can also change the filter of the board? Is that help in your case?

Like Project="XYZ" and status in (DOR)

(By doing that you won't be seing the open ones)

Edit: If your PO want to see the open ones, maybe they can create another board for that, or just a dashboard

Cheers,

Hi Markus,

I am not aware of how you could do this if all other statuses are still present.

I would recommend having a defined sprint master and deputy and they would be the only ones who add issues to sprints. (Manual but this works).
