Inherited several projects that have many boards (each project). How best to determine which board is the actual scrum board for that project? Naming conventions are not an indicator, too many cooks in the kitchen :).
THNX for the insight(s)... where to identify Team Names? This is data center environment.
Hi @Frank Rentef
You can try following this step-by-step guide
Check Board Settings:
Go into each board's settings and check the columns and workflows configured. The Scrum board will typically have columns that reflect typical Scrum states, such as "Backlog", "In Progress", "Done", etc.
Review Board Filters:
Check the JQL filters used by the boards. The Scrum board often uses a filter that includes sprints, for example, issuetype = Story AND Sprint in openSprints(). Kanban boards, on the other hand, do not rely on sprints.
Consult the Team:
If possible, talk to team members or project leads. They can provide insight into which board is actively used to manage Scrum work.
Sprint Analysis:
Look at the active or past sprints associated with the boards. The Scrum board will be the one that has sprints created and completed regularly.
Using Automation or Scripts:
Use scripts or automation to generate reports on board activity, such as how many issues were moved through sprints.
Documentation and History:
Review project documentation or activity history in Jira. Progress reports and previous updates can indicate which board was used for Scrum planning and execution.

@Frank Rentef there's arguably not a 'true' board for each project - they exist as sort of fancy filter views pointing at whatever you tell them to.
IMHO if you're across the teams and people are gloriously lost in the chaos, I would sit with them, delete all the surplus ones no one knows the value of, and then create a fresh master for each one.
