Part III - Working with Issues
Working with Issues
In this lab you will reuse the the Kanban Company Managed project, create an additional board, and populate the two boards with different types of issues
Make sure you are in your TODO App (KB CM) - so this is the Kanban Company Managed Project. The default name for the project’s initial board is the project’s KEY
If the project is not current, select the project from the Projects dropdown menu
On the left side below the project name you should see the word “Planning”, you will see a dropdown button, select it, it will show the current board in the project and other boards belonging to other projects. At the bottom is an option to create another board, select it
You will now have the option to create either a Scrum or Kanban board
Select Kanban, on the next screen select “Board from an existing project”, then select Next
Populate the board as shown here
Prefix the board name with what you intend to populate the board with (in this case - Tasks), then your team ID, and lastly the project name.
Select the project that will own this board. This should be the project you are currently in. Finally, select “Create board”
Select the view to show all the boards, you should now see your two boards
Select the original board that was created with the project. we are going to rename it so we know exactly what type of Issues will appear on it. Select the three dots on the upper right side of the board
Select board settings, then General
Select the Board name, edit it and prefix the name with (Stories)
Select “Back to board” upper right of the screen. It may take up to a minute for the board info to update (refresh the browser if you don’t see the changes), but once it does select the view to show all the board and it should look something like this
Review the sections “WORKING WITH ISSUES” and “ORGANISING YOUR BOARDS”
Select one of your stories and break it down into smaller sub-tasks
Select the story on the Kanban board
A new window appears detailing the story, select “Create subtask”
A new section appears allowing you to enter to Subtasks summary title, enter a title and select “Create”
Create two sub-tasks
Close the window and navaigate to the Sub-tasks board. You will see that all the Issues are visible
We need to edit the filter for the board so that it only shows the Sub-Tasks and not the stories
Goto to the board’s settings (upper right of screen, the 3 dots), look for the “Filter Query” field - this will take you away form the project to an area dedicated to filters and issues
Edit the query by adding the following query element (add Tasks and All Sub-Task) - whilst you are editing the query switch between the JQLand Basic view
Once completed click the Save link at the top of the view
Select Projects and your project to see the changes (you may need to select the board to see if filter has been applied correctly), it should llok like this
Select the Story board. If it shows more than stories, edit its filter
After editing it, it should look like this
Navigate back to the Sub-Tasks board
Move each Sub-task to the done column
When the last Sub-task has been moved, you should be prompted with a request to update the parent Story, select update
Navigate back to the Storyboard. You should see that the Story that owns the two Sub-tasks has been moved to the done column on the storyboard
