Hi @Bhagya Roy 

You can't convert a Scrum Board to Kanban - but you could create a new board?

Boards are just a visualisation of a Filter - so you could...

• Create a new Kanban Board - this can be done from the drop-down list on the left-hand menu, which is through the board name (i.e Mariner Development)
• Set the Filter to either match this Board's, or use this Board's filter for the Kanban Board

Hi @Bhagya Roy , what do you mean by sprint option? Do you mean the Sprint field or do you mean you wish to Chang from Scrum to Kanban possibly? Please elaborate on you goal so that the Community can better assist.

I am having a company-based scrum board with a weekly sprint release. I would like to convert this board to a board which doesn't have a sprint system to follow

As Stephan indicated you cannot convert a scrum board/project to Kanban but can create an additional board of type Kanban to your current project. If you don't like that solution then you could start a new Kanban project and move all issues to the new project.

In a company-managed project, you don't need to worry about moving, you can reconfigure it.

The minimum to do is:

• Add a Kanban board
• Delete any sprint board for it
• Remove the field you were using for scrum estimates from (at least) the screens the project uses.

There are a few other things you can change to make it more Kanban, such as removing original estimate (Kanban doesn't do estimates, it does throughput) company-managed projects are not themselves "Scrum or Kanban", unlike the board, they're just configured differently.
