Unable to change a Kanban Project to a Scrum Project

Bradley Davidson

I have picked up a project that was originally created as a Kanban project.  It looks like I am unable to create a Scrum board for this project because it was originally set up as a Kanban project.

I have permissions on other projects to create Srcrum Boards but the option doesn't exist for this one project.

Any suggestions on how to convert a Kanban Project to a Scrum Project so that I can create a Scrum board for the project?

I am sorry that the answer you got before was misleading - it was generated by an AI that has no understanding of your question or Atlassian software.

Projects are not really locked to a type like this - the Scrum, Kanban, and other project types are templates.  You chose one when you create the project, and it creates all the standard things associated with the project type, but it has no effect on the setup of the project after creation, and you are free to reconfigure the project in any way you want.

  • For a company-managed project, to "convert" it to Scrum, you need to enable a numeric field for estimation (Kanban doesn't do estimates, Scrum does), and then create a Scrum board that covers the project.
  • For a team-managed project, go to project admin -> features, and enable the sprints and backlog features.
