How to merge all issues from different type of projects into one backlog

Alex Shirokov April 27, 2020

Hello Gurus! 

I'm relatively new to Jira and was asked to take over the Jira admin role because the guy who worked with Jira left the enterprise. Unfortunately, I cannot turn down this "promotional offer" otherwise I'll join the "gray" line of all those unfortunate people who call themselves jobless! 

I presume I have a mess within my Jira portfolio because I cannot deliver what my bosses are asking me to deliver.

The issue is: I have 5 next-gen projects, 4 software classic projects, and 6 business projects. I have one project, let's call it Project "X" - that happened to be the Next-gen Project. Currently, we use this Project "X" to create a backlog and then sprints*** (please see a note how we do it today)
I have found that I can create a filter for all projects and then create a new board to bring all issues into the backlog for a specific project. Unfortunately, it does not work for me. I created a filter where I "collected" all the "To Do" issues for all the projects of the entire portfolio, including the Project "X". Now, when I try to create a new board from the filter, I do not see Project X - the place where I need to plant the board. 

Please, can someone give me instructions on what needs to be done to solve this mess? Million thanks in advance for your time. 

 

*** Today, we clone all issues from original projects to Project X!!! It is double the work for my guys since they need to update the statuses, notes, sub-tasks in the parent, and the Project X sites because there is no synchronization between them.

Hi @Alex Shirokov ,

A board with a filter can only be created within a classic project, you cannot select a different board when using NextGen.

So you'll have to use a "classic project" to have the board in, it'll only be the location of the board while the filter doesn't have to contain the project's issues.

Hi @Elad Ben-Noam

Many thanks for your reply. I have to re-build the structure of our projects. Thanks again!
