How to create a board from a Company-managed Jira project

How do you create a board from a company-managed Jira project?

First, navigate to the project menu on your left, click on the “Board” dropdown then “Create board”. Choose either Scrum or Kanban as a board type, and where you’d like it to appear: as part of a new software project, as part of an existing one, or from an existing saved filter.

Once you’ve chosen where you want to create your board, click “Next”. Now, give your board a name, select the project or filter you’d like to include, and choose a location.

Now click on “Create board” and you’re done!

Keep in mind that team-managed projects cannot yet have multiple boards; what you can do is create a board that uses a filter that includes a team-managed project!

Step-by-step:

  1. Navigate to the project menu on the left
  2. Click on the Board dropdown
  3. Click +Create board
  4. Choose your board type: Scrum or Kanban
  5. Choose where you want to create the board: Board created with new Software project, Board from an existing project, or Board from an existing Saved Filter
  6. Click Next
  7. Give your board a Name
  8. Select a Project (or Filter) to include in this board
  9. Select your board Location
  10. Click Create board
ℹ️
Team-managed projects cannot have multiple boards yet, but you can create a board that uses a filter that includes a Team-managed project.
