Allow "Sprint Started" trigger to all projects(Global)

[Venkat Bompally]

Currently Sprint Created, Started and Completed triggers are only applicable to a board/project.

Is there a way to define this rule Global so that it can be applied to all projects 

[Mark Segall]

I see this one is still open.  There is a potential workaround for this:

1. Create a new board that is inclusive of all desired projects. I recommend having a good Project Category structure in place so that it can scale as new projects are created:

   1. Category IN (A, B, C, n)

2. Create your global rule with the Sprint Started trigger based upon the board created in step 1

This should trigger your automation every time a sprint starts for any of your in scope projects.

no.

The sprint actions have to be applicable to boards - sprints are not project artefacts, they are board artefacts. 

You can't start a sprint for a project that is not included in a board - there isn't a sprint there to start!

We have 300+ projects, If you want to send an email using automation on Sprint started, created and updated that will be 900 rules. If you have an option define it as a global rule that will be 3 rules.

That is the reason i was looking for an option to make it Global.

And yet the scope of the rule itself is still based on "Projects".

Totally agree with Venkat - there needs to be an option to have this trigger run "Globally".  At a minimum, we should be allowed to select multiple boards in the rule we are creating.  Restricting the rule to only run on 1 board does mean we need to create a new rule for each board, which is a ton of overhead.  

*Edit - while I see Venkat tagged this for data-center, I'm using Cloud and am running into the same limitation.
