One Team / Many Projects

[Fitzpatrick, Oliver]

Hi,

We have a team that works across different projects. Each of these projects is owned by other teams they have to work with. So…

Project A / Team A

Project B / Team B

Project C / Team C

This team would work with Project A primarily, but also B and C circa. 15% and 30% of the time, and their respective teams. The team has a requirement to work primarily on Project A’s board and to match their workflow as they are primarily working with them.

I want to create an environment for this team in Jira where they only have to work in one place. Where they can create issues and also modify and update issues in one place, but these creations & modifications are reflected in their respective projects also.

Is there a way to do this? I understand I can create a board which is just a filtered view of a project, but what I don’t understand is working across projects and what happens when you update an issue in one place will it reflect in another.

Any help appreciated!

Hi Oliver - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yes, I would just create a board that shows issues from all 3 projects. The trick is that the 3 projects need to use the same shared schemes (primarily the workflow scheme). Which also means they all need to be Company-managed projects and none can be Team-managed.

Thanks John!

You can modify project A board filter to include issues from all three projects. If a user select an issue from the board and make changes, it will be saved on respective issue. So all update will be saved to the issues on project B and C as well.
