See all workflows and map status columns in business project boards

[#1]

Hi everyone,

I’m Amy Cheong, a Product Manager on Jira Cloud, and I’m excited to announce two big improvements coming up to business project boards – part of our journey to harmonise boards across Jira.

What’s new?

• View all workflows in one board: No more toggling between workflows. Now, every work item – regardless of workflow – appears together on your board. If you want display specific workflow on board, you can filter by work type.

• Map multiple statuses to columns: Project admins can now map several statuses to a single column, making it easier to reflect your team’s real process.

These changes help teams – especially those with complex or cross-functional workflows.

Why it matters?
We heard your feedback – you want boards that match how your teams actually work.

What’s next?
We’re rolling this out as an experiment and would love your feedback. Try it out and let us know:

• Does this make your board experience better?

• Are there other board features you’d like to see?

Drop your thoughts below or reach out directly – your input shapes what we build next!

Thanks for helping us make Jira even better,
Amy & the Jira Cloud Team

Hi @Amy Cheong

I love this feature. This week, my customers are complaining about the flexible board column order.

For a global/freestyle workflow,  jira business project board will display different column order for different users. They wanna to fix the board column order and rename the column name just like the one from company-managed projects.

So how to apply for it for my customer to use as early users of this feature?

Thanks,

YY Brother

@Amy Cheong , this is fantastic.  I never understood why the jira business project board was so different and sub-standard to the jira software project boards.  My users will be so much happier with these improvements.  Thanks for listening!

@Amy Cheong  This is a very disruptive update. This complicates everything that we have built for jira across many teams in our services organization. The board view is now confusing and virtually useless. We constructed our team workflows based on issue types with unique statuses, and toggling between workflows worked well and aligned with team SOPs.

PLEASE at least provide an admin option to revert back to workflows.

This was half baked feature release. The idea is great but the board shows all statuses and are not filtered down when users filter for work types. What a mess. My users are mad. :-(
