Is it a good idea to integrate product management and development tasks in one Jira project?

Aair Murta July 24, 2021

I am considering streamlining all product-related pipelines, from discovery to delivery, into one Jira Project. My idea is to use boards to have issues and tasks flowing forward and being separated and following the workflow of each teams. Is that a good idea, or am I trying to fit two processes that are too far apart into the same framework?

It depends on the complexity of the work.

I think this might be effective if you are not managing multiple products and their development as the complexity would then come into picture and can create unforeseen impediments.

I am happy to hear from others .

I did this very thing many years back. It looked something like this….

workflow: request - definition - review - dev backlog - dev - in progress - done

Product board

Development board

you will note that dev backlog spanned both boards and only when an issue moved to dev did it disappear off the Product board.

I found this to be a pretty effective for my team at the time but it is a bit of a heavy process in many cases. It fits better with waterfall teams than agile.

It depends on what you need but really this should not be an impediment since you can have more boars with different filters and display according to what you need.
