Linking scrum and kanban
Asked by Ganesh R:

Hello,

I have been working with development team and testing team.

I have created:

3 -\> Scrum Boards   
1 -\> Kanban Board

++**3 Scrum Boards**++

* Main Board -\> This is where the issues are listed and from there it is assigned to different teams. Backend and Frontend.
* BT Board -\> Created for Backend Team.
* FT Board -\> Created for Frontend Team.  

Below Filters are used to link the scrum boards:

(project = "Main Board" AND "Team\[Team\]" = 4d0bbd44-7c64-4b24-8434-0dbe73cc2c31) OR project = "Backend Team"

project = "Frontend Team" or project = "Main Board" and "Team\[Team\]" = 07bbc538-0f11-4033-8a9b-2a4c67f4ed43

I have created a Kanban Board just for the testing team because they don't run sprints and whatever is completed from the development teams they are taken for testing.  

**I have linked mainboard with kanban testing board:**

**project = TT or (project = "Main Board" and status = Developed) or "Team\[Team\]" = 2a86432e-f5b1-4d7e-8d9a-db10a88a52a9**

My problem is whenever I move issues on backend and frontend boards I see the same being reflected on Main Board.

But when I try to move the issues on the testing board (kanban) I dont see them reflecting.

The cards are same as in the main board and the status are also same.

Please let me know how to go ahead.

We appreciate a good question, yet you're making stuff unnecessary difficult for yourself, your team and this community, by your choice of project names.

Projects are the tree which branches (the epics) hold the leaves (the Jira issues)

A board is just a pair of glasses to look at something: a project tree, or part(s) of it. A board can be deleted without consequences to the project and the Jira-items in there.

So with the above in mind, could you rephrase your question please?

I have created a scrum and a kanban board and I have related both of them with a filter.

Now when I move the issues on kanban board I want to see the same moving on the scrum board can that be done?

Because when I go on scrum board and try to configure board I see issue numbers in the column of the scrum board but not the issues itself.

Both a Kanban and Scrum boards only ++look++ at the Jira-items you select for them. This means that for both boards, the status of these Jira-items **is the same**.

Do take into account, as Jira is a web-application, that you need to **refresh** the content of your browser to see any changes that have happened between the time the window was first opened and "now".

Prerequisites to observe the same Jira-items:

* You select the same Jira-items by using the same JQL expression for both board filters. This is done in the **Board configuration** - **General**section.
* You do want to define the columns and statuses identical for both boards. This is done in the **Board configuration** - **Columns section**.

[@Dick](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4586768) seems to be addressing your question. My only contribution at this point is to ask you to clarify which boards use which filter. You listed 4 boards and three filters.

Boards:
> 3 -\> Scrum Boards   
> 1 -\> Kanban Board
>
> ++**3 Scrum Boards**++

*
  > Main Board -\> This is where the issues are listed and from there it is assigned to different teams. Backend and Frontend.
*
  > BT Board -\> Created for Backend Team.
*
  > FT Board -\> Created for Frontend Team.

Filters:

Please provide clarity by listing the board and then its corresponding filter. Do this for each board.

I fully agree with you that it would be helpful to have some clarification about names of the projects, boards and filters.

Deduction from the original question, we have:

* Projects called "Main Board", "Frontend Team", "Backend team" and "TT"
* Boards called "Main Board", "BT Board" and "FT Board"

Remaining are the filters (and their content) used to filter-in the Jira items on the boards. If [@Ganesh R](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5558790) could provide those, we could help working out this problem.
