Combining boards into one when you are not a Jira admin

[teresa mckinnon]

Hello all, 

Our IT department is the only department with Jira Admin status. Our project team would like to be able to combine their individual projects into a single board view, can we do this without a company managed project?

Hi @teresa mckinnon,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

No, if you do not have a company-managed project you cannot create a board that includes multiple projects. Boards in team-managed project can only see work items within that project.

Thank you, Mikael. I was hoping you might have a workaround or another option to solve this issue. Looks like I will be creating a few IT tickets.

Hello @teresa mckinnon 

Technically you can combine the information from multiple projects to display in one board. You do that be creating and saving a Filter that selects the issues from all the projects. Then you create a new board from the Saved Filter.

However, that creates a board using the same functionality as used by the Company Managed project boards. That functionality looks a bit different than the functionality of the boards that are built into the Team Managed project.

You might want to give it a try, though, to see if it would meet your needs.

Thank you, I'll try that and see how it runs for the team!
