Kanban Boards

Easy Agile Programs supports Kanban boards so you can create alignment across your Scrum and Kanban teams.

When viewing the Team Planning Board for a Kanban team, you will see sprint columns just like Scrum boards. These “sprints” are for visualisation purposes only and do not represent real sprints on your Jira board.

We recommend planning Kanban team’s work into these columns if you have dependencies with other teams so that estimated timeframes can be visualised and potential risks can be discussed.

Estimations and capacity management is not available for Kanban boards. See more details on why we don’t support estimations on this page.

What does/doesn’t sync back to Jira for kanban boards?

Scheduling kanban issues on the team planning board will not change which status column it is shown in on your Jira backlog.

If you change the order of issues on our team planning screen then the order of issues on your backlog will be changed.

If you change any details about a kanban issue in Easy Agile Programs i.e. issue summary, status, assign then it will be automatically reflected in Jira (the same goes for issues on scrum boards).

Note: Currently, Kanban team-managed boards are not compatible with Easy Agile Programs if you’re using shared/global sprints. For more information check out our section on team-managed projects.
