Two of my boards look different - new Jira features or are these different styles?

Carly Mojica June 27, 2024

I have two boards that I thought were set up the same, about a year apart. However, on the old board, I cannot see sub-tasks on the timeline or assign a specific completion window; but on the new board, I can. Are these boards different styles or was there some update made that includes this new functionality and it only applies to new boards?

I'm trying to decide if I want to create a new board to replace the older board and migrate all of the issues over so that I can add timeline windows to the sub-tasks (because right now, it's a mess and could use some organization).

Hi @Carly Mojica 

Those are two different products and project types:

The first one is a Jira Software, company-managed, Kanban board, showing the Timeline view.

The second one is a Jira Work Management, company-managed, board, showing the Timeline view.

For a comparison from Atlassian, please look here: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/work-management/product-guide/jwm-vs-jsw

Kind regards,
Bill

Ahhhh... I figured I must have done something differently! Thank you for the explanation. 

It's a bummer because I really like the ability to schedule sub-tasks on the timeline. That's not available on regular Jira boards, right?

That is correct for Jira Software project, timelines.  Here is the suggestion to add that feature, which you may watch / vote for to see progress:
