The answers you have had about Jira Software are what you have to do.

Jira Work Management projects have a board built into them and you can not add more directly to the project.

If you want more boards for them, you have to add Jira Software boards that look at the JWM projects.

Hi Sushant,
Thanks a lot, 
But this is related to creating a board in 

Jira Software not Jira work management?

My doubt is in 

Jira work management?

If you are doing development you should choose JSW especially if you intend or think you may in the future want to use agile methodologies. JWM is really targeted for business teams and processes, e.g. HR, Finance, basic project management, etc.

You will have basic (non-configurable) Kanban boards. Works well for To Do - In Progress - Done type efforts. Again I guess the question is how does your team work what do your work clothes look like? It’s worth a try just to start with JWM and see if you can set up projects that meet your needs.

To be clear, the boards for JWM are not really Kanban, they don't have the throughput functionality of Kanban.  Plus you can't use them to accumulate status into columns like Kanban.

JSW comes with everything included in JWM but has a lot more configuration available. If you're hoping to do anything with workflows beyond To Do-In Progress-Done then you'll need JSW. Also, mixing team managed and company managed projects allows you to decide how rigidly you want people to follow the processes that are set up while still allowing flexibility when needed. 

That being said, administrating JSW is a fair bit more complicated than JWM, especially for company managed projects. There are a lot of settings and configurations. It is possible to retroactively make changes to all those settings after the projects are up and running but it is significantly easier to get everything set up ahead of time

Also, I found that while the Timeline function in JSW standard is better than nothing, it is near useless for actual project management, it does not provide enough detail into the task breakdown and you can't actually schedule anything with it.

@raj shaswat It's fine dear - thanks for your help 

I'm now between 2 options:

1- Using JWM - and there is ONLY ONE board 
or
2- To use JIRA Software - and still the filters can't prevent issues from appearing in all boards

A board is a view of a selection of issues defined by the filter.  

You say "the filters can't prevent issues from appearing in all boards " - yes, that's exactly what the filters are for - showing issues.
