4 sites one board/sprint

[Karl O'Brien]

I have a question that may be duplicated somewhere but I haven't been able to find a solution. 

I have 4 projects Website A, Website B, Website C, Website D.

When I setup a sprint, my design and dev teams may be working on tasks from each Website. I want to manage this on one board (A team board) instead of 4 separate boards. 

I can't see how to accomplish this easily in JIRA

Does anyone use JIRA this way and if so how do you achieve it?

Hello,

If you have Jira Software, then when you create a board you provide a JQL filter for the board (Board -> Configure -> General tab). This filter provides issues for the board. This filter can select issue from as many projects as you want (project in ( Website A, Website B, Website C, Website D)).

If you do not have Jira Software, then you can not represent issues from multiple project on a board.

Karl,

In addition, you'll need to be the board admin and also have manage sprint permission in all 4 projects.

You can find info how to create a filter here:

You query should look like this:

project in ( Website A, Website B, Website C, Website D)

Yeah I figure it should be able to do that but I can't see how to set the filter to pull in issues from other projects.

You could have a lira admin do that on your behalf. Create a query that has all 4 projects.

Sorry I should clarify.. My query is working OK. What I can't see how to do is add the issues to the team backlog or sprint

Sorry I found it!!

I never set the default filter to my custom search

Good to hear.
