Board Sets are a new way to simplify using charts when you need to operate with dozens of Jira boards

When you aim to monitor Sprint and Kanban metrics for larger organisational units like Divisions or Product Lines—which typically comprise dozens of teams, each with its own team-level boards—it becomes cumbersome to add numerous boards as data sources each time new charts are created.

To tackle this issue, we introduced the 'Board set' feature. This feature simplifies the aggregation of Sprint or Kanban metrics for large units by enabling the selection of multiple boards as a single data source with just one click, thereby streamlining the chart creation process.

It’s available in all charts for Scrum and Kanban boards:

To start utilising board sets instead of individually adding boards each time you create a chart, there are two approaches:

1. As you go, add the boards you need and save them as a board set directly within the settings.

   
   
   

2. In the 'Board sets' tab, recreate your organisational structure and make use of it when creating charts.
   
   

You can create Scrum board sets or Kanban board sets. A mixed set is impractical because each methodology requires specific calculations.

Although it's not required, we recommend adding a description to your set for easier navigation, especially when you have numerous board sets.

Board sets are only selectable by their creators. Nonetheless, you can share charts featuring selected board sets with anyone. If the person or group doesn't have access to certain boards or projects, the data for those restricted areas will not be displayed.
