Use this interactive demo to learn how to customize swimlane grouping on your Jira board.

Quick summary

Changing the Jira board view lets teams control how issues are grouped using swimlanes, making sprint planning and issue tracking more organized. You can update the swimlane settings in just a few clicks through the board's Edit settings menu.


Steps

  1. Select the board you want to change the view for and click the ellipsis icon.
  2. Click Edit settings from the dropdown menu.
  3. Inside the board settings, select Swimlanes.
  4. Click the drop-down menu to select a grouping method.
  5. Choose how you want swimlanes to group issues together.
  6. A notification confirms that your swimlanes have been successfully updated.
  7. Your board view in Jira has been successfully changed.

📌 Why this matters

Customizing the Jira board view by changing swimlane groupings helps agile teams organize issues by assignee, epic, or priority — giving project managers instant visibility into workload distribution. This setting is essential for teams running sprints in Jira Software, as it allows them to tailor the board layout to match their workflow without any admin overhead. Updating swimlane settings takes less than a minute and immediately improves how issues are visualized across the entire board.
