How to set-up sub-teams in Jira?

[Brian Buck]

New to Jira. I'm trying to determine how I set up sub-teams, so each of my sub-teams views only the backlogs and boards they are responsible for, (as compared to sifting through the work of all sub-teams)?  I know I can created various permissions for each of the sub-teams, but I'm unable to determine how I initially create/define these individual teams within Jira.

There are different ways to can do it. One of it could be having different boards for each sub-team, with each board showing issues filtered with a specific component or custom field value with the team name assigned with that ticket.

1. Create a select list custom field with the team values

2. Select the appropriate team on each ticket

3. Create boards for each team with the appropriate filters, filtered on the custom field

4. Let the sub-teams plan on the board with their filter
