How can we track multiple projects in single board ?

chouhan.1505 October 28, 2024

we are facing an issue, we have team of BA, QA and Product managers, they all are working on different projects, they want to create a separate tracking for their projects. Is there any way to deal with this in Jira or any other Atlassian product?

Hi @chouhan.1505 and welcome to the Community!

If your projects are company managed (preferably), you can add an additional board to them. A board is not much more than a functional view that can display issues based on a filter bringing together issues from multiple projects.

See this support article for more details on setting this up.

Hope this helps!

Hi, @chouhan.1505 

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Regarding your question - Jira’s Kanban boards could be a great solution for your team. They’re designed to make project tracking simple and visual, which is perfect when you have Business Analysts, QA, and Product Managers working on different projects but needing to stay aligned.

With Kanban boards, each team can set up a board just for their project. You get a clear view of tasks moving from “To Do” to “In Progress” to “Done” (or any stages you want). The best part? It’s all customizable. If the QA team needs a “Testing” column, for example, they can add it in, while BAs might have different stages altogether. 

Very important notice—Kanban columns in Jira are directly tied to workflow statuses. This means columns can’t just exist independently; they need to reflect actual statuses from your project’s workflow. So, if you want a column called “Analysis,” you’ll need to add relevant workflow statuses to it (like “UAT” or whatever makes sense for your process). You can’t just create an empty column and start dragging issues there without linking it to these workflow statuses.

Plus, it’s all real-time. So, whenever someone updates the board, everyone on the team sees the latest status instantly—no need to jump between projects or tools. It’s a great way to keep everyone in the loop and make progress visible without extra effort.
