Why can't I see "Boards" in the side bar of my JIRA Core project? We have JIRA Core Server.

Hello @Holland Risley

Agile boards are part of "Jira software" and not "Jira core" thus you would need "jira software" to have boards.

Thanks, but that's not what it says here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracorecloud/working-with-boards-800712866.html

The link you have shared it for "jira core cloud" not for "jira core server"

Still, I have quickly visit the docs just to make sure if it's possible on jira core server or not, though I don't think it is.

Oh, so we need to move to Cloud to get Boards in Core. I see. Oh dear :(

Thanks Anyways.

Please see this similar question about non-availability of boards on the Jira core server. -https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Core-questions/Board-function-not-found-in-Jira-core-server-v7-2-2-but-demo-had/qaq-p/317549

If you need boards, then I would suggest you to move to Jira software, it's a one click update. here's the pricing

Oh, we already have that. But our marketing and non technical teams find JIRA Software a little bit too much for basic task management, and I was hoping JIRA core might be a little easier for them to handle. Thanks.
