How to link the fix version and affect version from sprint board type-project to the kanban project

[Henry Kim]

Hello, 

I wonder you can get the point what I've asked, basically I have 2 project, one of the project is related to the sprint board like "reporting a bug", so it has a "sprint", "Epic", "Fix version", "Affect version". But the project I've made w/ Kanban board type and I also use RTM (Requirement & Test management).

So I'd like to link those above information to the kanban board.

Is it possible? and if it is, could you let me know how to do it?

Hello @Henry Kim ,

The versions are project-specific, but boards are filter-specific.  So you can add as many boards as you need for a project, scrum and/or kanban, setting the filters and mapped status values to match your workflow; just use the Create Board function.  The following link gives more details on how to set up filters for new boards:

• https://www.atlassian.com/agile/tutorials/creating-your-agile-board

If you wanted to keep the projects separated, you could look into using Advanced Roadmaps that have a Cross project release functionality that will sync the releases across multiple projects, with additional details on the process covered here:

• https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/create-a-cross-project-release-in-advanced-roadmaps/

And additional details on cross-project functionality are covered in the articles collected here:

• https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/plan-and-view-cross-project-work-with-advanced-roadmaps/

Next, there are a lot of cross-project syncing apps available in the marketplace that can accomplish this, and I recommend checking out the following link which narrows done some in a search, to see if any of these would better suit your needs if the above options do not apply:

• https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=jira&query=cross%20project

From the descriptions I see the tool "Octo - Component versions, Subcomponents and Sync for Jira"  speciffically notes:

cross-project component sync, versions and releases.

so it may be a good point to start at.

Earl
