Hello! This is a continuation of my topic here:

 

Original Post: (Please view for quick reference):

https://community.miro.com/best-practices-discussions-48/best-practice-very-large-user-story-framework-map-board-1403

 

 

Intro:

Basically I am working on ‘User Story Framework Mapping’ at this stage.  This entire post is regarding ‘User Story Framework Mapping’.

 

Scenario:

I have a very large application with multiple user types, and user ‘areas’ of the application.  (See my original post).  I have broken the application into small boards to make it more manageable as I have 1500+ user stories for my application.

 

Overall Question:

My question is, how do I (or can I?) reference board elements from OTHER boards.  So in my original post I have split my application into (4) user story boards pending on the User role in which the User Story refers to.

 

Example Board Layout

  1. Board 1 | Public Area (where non-auth users can visit and what they can do)
  2. Board 2 | Standard users (User Type - A) - What authenticated standard user type A can visit and do
  3. Board 3 | Other User Type (User Type - B - what authenticated user type B users can visit and do
  4. Board 4 | App Admin User Type (User Type - C) -  this is like the ‘Facebook admin / Facebook staff user for reference.  This is what all User type c can visit and do.

Question Detail:

Can I reference elements from Board 2 to Board 1?  Such as if the ‘User Registration’ user stories are in Board 1, and I want to have Board 2 ‘link’ and redirect to Board 1 ‘User Registration Story’. Is there an option for that? I only see an option to link within the same board.

 

 

Thanks all!

You can definitely link elements from one board to another as long as you get the “Copy link” option when bringing up the context menu on the element. I just did a quick test and it launches the linked board in a separate browser tab and zooms in to the linked element.

Links to frames do not necessarily solve the problem. In my mind would be beneficial to have a ‘master frame component’ that is being edited on its original board but can be displayed and referenced on other boards. A use case will be when you have several boards each covering a particular feature, and a board where we show dependencies or integrations between them that would be great to show on each of the feature’s boards without having to navigate.
