URGENT! EPIC BOARD

[Dionei Piazza]

Hello Jira community!

I need to create an Epics board for the Product team. I need epics to be displayed in 3 columns [LATER | NOW | FUTURE].

LATER = They are the epics that have their issues (Stories and Tasks) in the Upstream status (To Discovery, Discovering, Refinement, etc.).

NOW = They are the epics that have their issues (Stories and Tasks) in the Downstream status (In Progress, Validation, etc.).

FUTURE = They are the epics that have their issues (Stories and Tasks) all in backlog.

Any idea to help me?

Note:

• I don't want to use plugins.
• Maybe I'll use Automation.

Hi Dionei!
I have this question as well. Please, how did you solve it? 

[LATER | NOW | FUTURE]. The sequence was exactly this way? I'm confused because the future status was in the final of the Kanban board. Thanks

Hi Dionei,

We actually do the same thing with some of our projects.

We have created statuses in the workflow that we use with Epics that line up with each column - Now, Next, Later in our case (and Done, of course). 

Then map the status to your Epics board. 

I should note that we created a new Epics workflow and workflow scheme for this. And then we simply attach the new workflow scheme to the projects that are following that method.

Hi @Dionei Piazza 

You cannot use the JIRA Kanban boards to do as you ask because of the built-in assumptions that the first column=Not Started and the last column=Completed.  So mapping the status values would create issues for any other epic workflow you have in mind.

If you just need a visibility board (no moving items), you could create a 3 column dashboard and provide filters for the epics you want in each column.

If you need to move items, please investigate using a Trello board and its integration with JIRA.  Now that Atlassian owns both, you can do the integration for no additional costs.

Best regards,

Bill

I don't know how you could do a Kanban board that way, but you could do a dashboard using filters like issuefunction in epicsOf("project = pegasus AND status in ('in progress',open)")

Hi Nancy,

issuefunction it's a scriptrunner feature, and so as I wrote, I will not use a plugin.
