Can we switch Project B from Scrum to Kanban without affecting Project A which is Scrum?

[Mel M]

We are using Jira in our 2-week sprints with Agile Scrum for our Product Development (software) project. We also use Jira in our Growth board (non-software project) with an Agile Scrum board and we're thinking if it might work better as a Kanban project.

Can any of you please help us and confirm whether we can:

• Switch the current Growth project from Scrum to Kanban without starting a new project?
• Confirm that the existing Jira Product development project can stay on Scrum while our Growth project switches to Kanban.

Hi @Mel M

What I can recommend is to change the filter of the Scrum board to only contain issues from the product development. 

After that, create a filter for you Growth project, with all the issues. 

To finish, you can create a new board (Scrum or Kanban) based on you new filter. 

I hope that it helps.

Mel,

Welcome.

Scrum/Kanban is determined by the board and not the project.

To simplify your situation, create a kanban board and point it to the project. Afterwards, delete the scrum board.

I'm new to Jira and still learning things. In anticipation that my boss will ask me to do this too, could you please detail out the steps to your suggestion? Thanks @pedroFelgueirasISEP!

@Mel M

It's easier if you make a more specific questions about the steps. Can you make an more specific question? 

If you want to try it before making it in production I suggest to get an staging instance to try it.

In relation to your recommendation, @Pedro Felgueiras, how will I change the filter of the Scrum board to only contain issues from our Product Development (software) project? 

After that, could you please also say how to create a filter for our Growth project, with all the issues (including those in our backlog)?

Last, how can I create a new board (preferably the Kanban for our Growth project) based on the new filter?

Thanks in advance for your help!

What is the current filter of the board? 

How can we identify the issues of the Growth project? 

To create a new board you can follow this tutorial https://www.atlassian.com/agile/tutorials/creating-your-agile-board
