We have here JIRA Software, and wondering which plugin could help me with parallel teams and sprints

Question

Hello,

We have here JIRA software. We use teams with shared backlogs (projects). And it's kind of painful to use it in that way -> parallel sprints and or filtering by labels for each team board. It's limited.

I was wondering what plugin could help me here. I checked the portfolio plugin demo and looks like a way bigger solution, we don't need that much.

Anyone with similar pains? Any tips here?

Kind Regards,

Pedro

Hi Victor, I really appreciate your answer, In fact, I tried it, but with 4 teams, I will have a minimum of 4 visible sprints across all backlogs, a bit confusing for PO to work on prioritization across teams and backlogs.

I also tried to label each backlog ticket (bulk edit for all tickets), and use the filter option on each board. But in this case looks too much overhead to keep it working (every new ticket has to be labelled correctly all the time).

I wanted something simple. But Portfolio looks too much.

Cheers,

Pedro

Pedro,

You don't need a plugin. Enable the feature by checking out the topic, Enabling Parallel Sprints.
