Setup for GH/Jira with multiple scrum teams, multiple projects and multiple backlogs?

[Sebastian Ljungberg]

Hello,

We are evaluating JIRA/Greenhopper to use for product management and we have some trouble to figure it out how to set everything up with SCRUM.

We are currently 3 scrum teams and multiple projects. Each scrum team can work in same version of a project at the same time.

Does anyone have a best practise to set everything up for using Scrum with 3 teams and multiple projects? Or any information is welcome.. We are kind of stuck!

Hi Sebastian,

Which part of Scrum is proving to be the sticking point?

Backlog grooming and executing a Sprint across multiple projects can be most easily achieved today using the new Rapid Boards (which allow the ranking and status update of issues across all of the projects). During Sprint planning, you may find it most useful to assign the fixVersion to the proposed Stories as a bulk edit of the issues.

We're currently doing a lot of work in this area to make it simpler to operate across projects.

Thanks,

Shaun

I would go further to say that the only viable way you have of running multiple teams with multiple projects is via the Rapid Board.

Check out the Jira structure plugin, might solve some issues.

Annars är just bristen på projekt/produktstrukturer en tröskel i Jira :)

Here's an article about using Structure to create multiple team backlogs in JIRA Agile. The same technique can also be used to create tiered backlogs.
