How to enable the board in team managed software project?

Liz Babidge June 17, 2025

I am working in a team managed software project.

I am the project owner and have full admin rights.

When I look at settings - features, I see 'Board' is ticked but greyed out.

This would explain my problem: can't configure anything on the board (I want to add columns and assign some new workflow statuses).

Grateful for any hints on how to proceed.

Hey Liz

To configure the board, follow these steps:
  1. Navigate to your team-managed Jira project.
  2. Locate the board in the project's sidebar.
  3. Click on the board.
  4. In the top-right corner, select "More actions" (···), then "Configure board."
From the "Configure board" screen, you can customize the board's columns, swimlanes, and other settings to fit your team's workflow.Key points about team-managed boards:
  • They are enabled by default for team-managed projects.
  • They offer a simplified configuration experience compared to company-managed projects.
  • They typically show all issues within the project, but you can filter and group them to focus on specific work items.
  • You can customize the board's columns and statuses to reflect your team's workflow.
  • Team-managed projects only allow for one board per project.
  • You can use filters and grouping to organize and prioritize work.
  • You can flag work items for attention and add them to specific swimlanes.

Thanks! I was not able to configure it for a while (options greyed out) then it magically appeared. Appreciate the quick response though!

Ah, nevermind - after about 1 hour post creating a new workflow the board became editable. No idea why such a lag though.
