How to create swimlanes based on my stories?

[Bayar Said]

Hi,

i want to create swimlanes for my Kanban board based on the stories i created.

It should look like this:

Story 1

- All tasks created for story 1

Story 2

- All tasks created for story 2

etc.

Is there a way to create a board which looks like that?

Thanks in advance.

Hm, I do have swim lanes set on kanban board in a company managed kanban project.
I set them up based on epics, but you can use JQL

Hi Marta! I tried setting it up based on epics also as stories but it is not working.. The epics/stories/tasks are not being shown in the kanban board if i set them up based on one of them..

[Marta Woźniak-Semeniuk]

If you use epics, then the epics must be on the board too and not in the backlog. 

As for the stories - can you show me JQL you are using for that? Maybe there is a mistake in the query itself :)

I don't have any JQL in there right now since it did not work. But setting it up to based on Story should already work or am I wrong?

Hey, yes if you have an option to base swimlanes on stories than it should work - story will become a swim lane name and all tickets created under this story should be shown in that swim lane. However - tickets that are just linked to the story won't show up this way.

Hey, yes i set the swimlane on Story but the shown swimlanes but the shown swimlane is not based on a story.. do you have any idea on how i can fix that?

That is how my (test)project structure looks like:

Are the story also added to the sprint ?
