Start Your Board Creation

Your Scrum Board will be created using your project name and a project key derived from the project name. These can be changed after the board has been created, but are usually fine.

Click on the Create Board button.

Start Your Project Planning

You can now start planning your project.

I like to start with the highest level, so click on Roadmap. This is where you will enter your Epics.

The Roadmap always gives you the highest overall view of your project.

Create Your Roadmap with Epics

Earlier, I defined Epics as the highest level in your project, showing what needs to be achieved, but not how it's to be achieved.

I have a large number of websites and decide to focus on 9 of them for this project. 7 are affiliate or e-commerce sites and the other 2 are for creating and launching training courses.

I'm setting a simple financial goal for each of the 7 sites, to turn them into online businesses making $400 a day.

Why $400? Well, for one thing I believe it's perfectly achievable and for another it's the amount I need from 7 businesses to create a 7 figure income ($1.022M).

Just click on + Create Epic and add Epics until you have all of them listed in you project.

This is your business Roadmap.

It works great for me, Fran, but I was using it to run development teams in the corporate world some years ago. It keeps me focused on the day to day while not losing sight of the big picture.

Obviously it's a good planning too as you have used it successfully for some time. Glad you told us about it.

Thank you, Fran. Part 3 will show using a Scrum board from my own setup.

Hello Phil, thanks for your job. Accidentally I have chosen "kanban" is there a possibility to change it to "scrum"?
Reply

I've never done that, sorry, but I'd try deleting the Kanban board and going back to that point and re-selecting Scrum.

Thx, I've tried doing another account with another email but there are just Kaban or Tim options. I don't know what now 😔.

I don't know what a Tim option is. Maybe you are in the wrong place. Could you send me a screenshot please?

I've tried one more time and now it looks OK, should I use a template? It is asking me about it. I guess yes.

One of the things about Jira is the many, many options available. I don't recall ever being asked about a template but generally speaking they are shortcuts, so I'd say yes, but I'm really only guessing.
