How can I change an existing JIRA Project to a Scrum Project

[Thomas Fritzen]

I have a Project that was set up as a Kanban Project or a Basic Project.  I would like to make that Project a Scrum Project.  

Thanks

Technically, you don't really need to, the Scrum/Kanban choice is purely to ask what else you want to create for the project and set up the right fields. 

But you should swap the project from "Business" to "Software" in the project header.

Once you've done that, just create a Scrum board and tell it to look at the project.

You may need to fiddle with field setup if you want to use story points etc.

Changing from "Business" to "Software" in the project - this doesn't have any other consequences then getting software functionality? Does i remove other functionality??

thanks

You'll lose the project board (but that's ok, because you're probably doing this so you can create Scrum or Kanban boards in the project) and things like summary, list, and calendar will go too, but they're mostly just done differently in Software projects, it's not really a "removal".  For example, the timeline goes away.  But you get roadmaps.
