Hello,

I have a board that has issues from 19 different projects and the issues from project A and project B have shared components(same components in project A and B)
and when I start a sprint with the issue(having the common component) only one sprint starts and i do not get option to start another sprint but once I remove that shared component from the issue I can start the sprint.

What is the catch here?

Hi @Priyanka khare 

To clarify, I do not believe there is a feature to share components between projects.  Instead, one creates identical components in different projects when you need to add filtering.  For example, naming teams with components.  They are not the same component even though they may be named the same.

Next, would you please describe how you are managing sprints? 

• Do the sprints contain the work of one project or multiple projects (and components)?
• Normally sprints are managed at the project level, for that project's scope of work items.  Are you instead only creating sprints in a single project (and board), spanning 19 other projects via a filter to include them all?

Best regards,

Bill

Hello @Bill Sheboy 

Thankyou for your inputs. 

Will enabling parallel sprint option work here? Will this effect all the existing sprints of the jira instance ?

Hi @Priyanka khare 

The parallel sprints feature allows a project to have multiple sprints running at once, such as for multiple teams.  When enabled by the admin, I believe all projects then have that ability.

What this feature does not do is allow you to manage sprints in one place for multiple different projects.

Thanks,

Bill
