Prioritizing tasks across multiple projects and boards

[Sina]

I am assigned tasks on multiple boards from different projects. I'd like to see all of my tasks in one place and be able re-order and prioritize them. A critical task from one board might be less important than a regular task on a different board, for example. I don't need to change the task details, just drag and drop them into an order that makes sense for me. Is there a way to pull the tasks into a personal board or perhaps a way to configure the dashboard to accomplish this?

Hi @Sina ! 

Welcome to the Community! 

Yes, you can create a personal board, here a nice step-by-step instructions on how to work with agile boards in Jira Software- Jira Agile Board Tutorial

Thank you Alexander. That's a great resource. I'm bookmarking it for future issues.

Hi @Sina and welcome to the community!

You can accomplish this with a multiple project board.  Here's a quick rundown on creating a project board:

Thanks Mark. Knowing that it was possible was a huge help. Ultimately, this doc helped me figure out how to do it, in case others find it useful.

Hi @Sina Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If you're displaying issues from multiple projects on a single board, please remember to order by rank when prioritizing and re-ordering is important to you.

See:

for more information.

Thanks to accept this answer if it resolves your question.

Great tips. Thanks Dave!

Hello. Are there any options similar to this, but available to users with only a Jira Work Management liscense? As I understand it, you need a Jira Software Liscense to be able to access and create boards which source issues from multiple projects.

I intended for this to be a question :) and assistance is appreciated!
