Detailed overview

How to create?

Otherwise (if you already have one or few boards created) click on menu icon in top left corner to select “Manage Boards“

(2) Click on “Create board“, choose “Value Mapping Board“ and Next.

(3) On the initial configuration screen please specify

Depending on configuration of the Jira Project different fields could be used for Story Points, namely

Story Points for “Classic“ projects

How to use?

(1) If you toggled for us to use label for the value field you will receive a board with predefined Columns and Swimlanes as well as all applicable Jira issues in “Others“ left column at the bottom.
