Sprint start automation based on board, multiple boards

[Rita K Landis]

I have a project that has multiple teams that create their own sprints and have their own scrum boards. Some teams have multiple scrum boards for their team.

Since the sprint automation is based on boards, the automation will only kick off if started from the board defined in the automation.

The issue, if the team has multiple scrum boards, using the same filter, the automation will only kick off if they are on the board defined in the automation and doesn't even show up in the other board.

This is going to be a major problem.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi @Rita K Landis - I've run into this as well and I've basically gotten around it by creating a consolidated board based upon a filter that combines the issues across all relevant project boards then running the automation against that.

This is all I have come up as well. The problem will be rogue board creators :)

True, but there's really no other way around it unfortunately
