Multiple boards in Business and Team Managed Projects? You bet you can!

[teusner]

Hi,

I just stumbled upon this article and tried the afore mentioned way to create a board of all boards sort of thing. I set up my filter, where I can see all my tickets. But neither in the Scrum nor n the Kanban Board are those visible.

We are using business projects and I would love to have some sort of weekly to do list for my colleagues.

Any ideas?

Yours

David

Hi @teusner , I would need more information of exactly what you did, and what your used case is. It may be that there is a better solution. For example, you mentioned that you wanted to do list for your team members. If I were doing that, I would likely set up a dashboard that leverage is the currentuser() JQL function in various filters and apply those filters to the gadgets in the dashboard.

HI @Jack Brickey 

What I want is something like this ( I tried to do  a quick sketch)

A board, where tickets (tasks from business projects mainly + tickets from our servicedesk) as cards in one view. Lanes per week / Sprint for a simple overview, what I need to do this week and easy planning.

Drag and drop Tickets from backlog to the sprint for planning, drag and drop tickets to the coloumn to change its state.

One Board for every Team member where everyone only sees their work load for the current week, next week etc.

I am a bit dumbfounded. I started from scratch and now the tickets are listed in the board. Not sure what i did differently....

Came here to comment on finding the card layout limitation that HW Goh has mentioned above. I was able to use a custom field as a filter for colouring the cards, but seeing the field content on the layout would be handier.

Great article, thanks @Jack Brickey 

One possible further limitation is when estimating using story points. Team Managed Projects use 'Story point estimates' while boards associated with a profile, as here, use 'Story Points'. This means Story Point fields in the backlog and reports show as blank/empty. 

Do you know of any workaround to this?

Many thanks in advance.

@mt 

You can add the "Story points estimate" field by modifying the board configuration

Board -> Congigure Board -> Layout -> Add field

@Stefano Magnani thanks for the response. That only allows you to add them as fields on tasks. It doesnt allow you to use the story point estimates for any planning activity. Thats because personal boards and company managed boards use "Story Points" and tasks in team managed projects require you to use "Story Point Estimates" See my screenshot where the "Story Point" counters are all showing "0", regardless of fields added. I havent yet found a workaround for this yet.
