In Jira, it's possible to share the sprint across multiple boards. Organizations use this common sprint approach in Jira to start and close sprints for all the teams at the same time.
If a sprint is shared across multiple teams, then each team board must have a "unique" identifier to distinguish contents from one team board to another.
Enable Shared Sprint Setting
Follow these steps to enable shared sprint setting
Go to Board Settings
Click on "Edit Board Settings
Select the "Additional Fields" tab
Click on the checkbox for "Enable Shared Sprint"
Select the field that you use at Jira to separate Jira boards, e.g., component or other custom fields to uniquely identify each team. This value will be used at team mapping at Kendis to distinguish stories in the same sprint for different teams
Configure Teams with Shared Sprint at Kendis
Once the shared sprint is enabled, the next step is to configure teams at Kendis
Go to Board Settings
Select Teams tab
Go to Team Settings
Select your project, board, and other fields
Select the "Shared Sprint" value
Select sprints
Example Team Settings
Team 1 with the same sprints and different shared sprint field value
Team 2 with the same sprints and different shared sprint field value
Notes
When a story is created in a team at Kendis board, it will automatically set the sprint and shared sprint field values.
Referring to the above example, if a story is created in "Team Tiger" in sprint 1, it will have the following values in Jira
- Sprint = CRM Sprint-1
- Component= CRMReferring to the above example, if a story is created in "Team Whale" in sprint 1, it will have the following values in Jira
- Sprint = CRM Sprint-1
- Component= Integration
