How we can create multiple boards in Team Managed Project?

[Avdhut Mahesh Nalawade]

As we all know we can create multiple boards on company managed projects.

But wanted to know are we able to create the same on team managed projects?

Please provide direction for it.

It is not supported yet in Jira Software Cloud. However, they have a Feature Suggestion already and they had prioritized it as per Atlassian's last update in May 2022. However, as per their update in June 2022, they have paused the implementation of this feature. Please see more details by clicking the link below.

Hi Avdhut - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can't do it directly, but here's kind of a work around for it. 

You will need to create a filter for the Team-managed project, something like Project = ABC ORDER by Rank ASC where ABC is the project key for your Team-managed project. Be sure to save the filter and share it. Or you can use an existing filter if one exists with the same issues in it.

Go to your list of boards and click on Create board

Choose either Kanban or Scrum

Choose create based on an existing Filter.

Then attach it to the new filter you just created.

For the Location field, you will not be able to use a Team-managed, Business, or JSM Project - only Classic Software projects. Or you can link to your profile - probably best in this case. But this will not keep the new board from working - it really only cares about the project(s) in the filter.

Then you are all set. You can modify the board as you need to.

One side note - you will not be able to click on the Board option as normal for the project as that will take you to the built-in board. You will need add a shortcut on the left side menu and include a link to the new board.

As everyone stated, it is not possible to create multiple boards in Team Managed Projects.

If you take a look at How to choose Between a Company-Managed or Team-Managed Project, you'll see that the purpose of choosing a team-managed project is because

Your team wants easier project configuration to get started quickly.

You want a self-contained space to manage your team’s work.

From that product understanding, the feature request that Mohajit provided was created with Atlassian focusing on the ability "to enable the ability to create multiple boards within one team-managed project, which will be tracked on this Jira feature suggestion".

If you are an administrator and the boards are absolutely necessary, you could create a company-managed project, recreate the custom fields/issue types/workflow and move the issues over. It would be tedious but doable.

thank you @Vera for the information.
