Can I use the same sprint for few projects?

[Nissim Ariel]

Our product is built from many parts and teams and we want to manage the sprint commonly.

Is it possible? and if so - how?

Thank you very much!

Hi @Nissim Ariel 

Yes, it is possible to use the same sprint for multiple projects by creating a shared board that includes issues from multiple projects.

Go to Boards and create a Board, selecting Scrum Board. Choose the option create a board from an existing filter (filter containing multiple projects). 

Then you can go to the board and create a sprint.

What doo you mean Go to Boards? the only thing you can do is to go inside a project and there open inside a project a new board? 

Is there another thing that Im missing?

Hi @Nissim Ariel 

Tuncay refers to a previously made filter that holds the tickets of all the projects.

This filter is made from the Issues - Search Issues menu in the top blue bar. You can save the results and it becomes the filter that Tuncay refers to.

Kind regards,

Dick

Click on the "Your work" top menu item, and you should see Boards tab link

Hi @Nissim Ariel 

Jira is a very powerful agile project management tool with which we can implement mutiple solutions to a requirement.

According to my own experience, I don't suggest we need a sprint across multiple projects or board. From the information you provided, it looks like you're running scaled agile with multiple teams working on a single project.

If we look from agile practice, we should use a single Jira project so that a single product backlog is in that project (not across projects). Different agile teams can use different boards in that project. However, if the product development team is more than 100 guys, the solution may be different, e.g. using multiple projects and Plans to across multiple boards.

Hope it helps you,

Thanks,

Hi,

Cant be done like that, different squads, different areas, multiple projects

[YY Brother]

Got it.  Maybe you could try:
Each agile team is working on their different boards of different jira projects, but sharing the same time interval (Progream Interval -> Sprint Timebox). Then use quarterly PI planning and Jira Plan solution.

That means that different teams don't necessarily use the same sprint.

Hi @Nissim Ariel 

Sprints are global entities in Jira. 

If you create a sprint in a scrum board, the same sprint is available in all the issues when you edit the 'Sprint' field on those issues. 

Hope this helps!

Hi @Nissim Ariel You can use the same sprint name in all your projects and you should have admin privilege in all the projects to manage the sprint.
