How to Hide/Archive 'Done' Issues from Scrum Board and Backlog?

[Alex Boghossian]

We have a large backlog at the moment for a project and we always pull in a large amount of issues for each active sprint; as we complete issues, the last column on our board ('Done') piles up.

What is the easiest and most efficient way to archive these 'Done' issues? In the past, I have went to the Backlog, checked each 'Done' issue in the Sprint section, then dragged all these issues to the bottom of the Backlog section. When I did that, these 'Done' issues disappeared from the Backlog section. They did not get deleted; however, I had to search for the issues to find them.

Is there an easier and more efficient way to do this? I do not want any 'Done' issue to show in our board or the backlog - but at any point, I want to be able to review which issues we have already completed throughout the project.

Hello @Alex Boghossian ,

Given that you are working with a Scrum board, Done issues will display until the Sprint is completed.

You could use a Quick/Custom filter to toggle the display of the Done issues.

Hello @Alex Boghossian and welcome to the Community!

Assuming this is a Scrum board, you might want to add a Quick Filter to toggle what is visible.  For instance, a QF = resolutiondate is EMPTY OR resolutiondate >= -1w would eliminate issues from your board that were resolved over a week ago.

If this is a Kanban board, you can specify time frame for how long completed issues remain on your board (via Configure Board > General tab as shown below).

Welcome to the community @Alex Boghossian ,

I always create a quick filter in my Jira projects to show only items that are not resolved or completed.

JQL - 

status NOT IN (Resolved, Closed). This way I can toggle on what was completed and what issues still need to be addressed.

Hope this helps!
