You can add any task or issue to a Kanban board if you have Manage access to the project. Keep the following in mind when moving a task or issue to a Kanban board:

  • If the task or issue is assigned to an agile team and moved to another team’s Kanban board, the team assignment does not change.
  • If the task or issue is not assigned to a team, the task or issue is assigned to the team who owns the Kanban board.
