Hello @Marzhan Amanzholova ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!!

I think you have selected the wrong product and tags, because Boards and Swimlane available in Jira Software project.

Here are below quick steps.

1. Go to your board, then select more () > Board settings.

2. Click the Swimlanes tab.

3. If your swimlanes are based on queries, you can edit your swim lanes.

For more information, you may please have a look at https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/configure-swimlanes/

Hi Mayur,

Thanks a lot for the quick reply!

Is it possible that the problem is that I have a free plan, so there is no option to add the swimlanes to my board?

Best regards,

Marzhan

No, Swim lanes will be available even if you are on free plan.

If you look to the screenshot, there is no swimlanes option(

Out of the box boards with Team-managed projects have limited ability with swimlanes. You can set swimlanes by using the Group by function in the top right.

For custom swimlanes Atlassian has feature request. You may please vote and add yourself as watcher so you will get notification when there is update.
