- Question 1Intermediate
Board Types and Concepts · Board Creation and General Concepts
True or False: Board administrators for team-managed project boards can configure JQL-based swimlanes and subfilters in the exact same manner as they can for company-managed project boards.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Team-managed project boards have significantly limited configuration options compared to company-managed boards. They do not support advanced features like JQL-based custom swimlanes or subfilters.
- Question 2Beginner
Configuring Board Permissions and Filters · Filter Permissions and Sharing
A board administrator creates a new board based on a saved filter to track high-priority bugs. However, several developers report they receive an error and cannot see the board. The administrator confirms that the developers have the "Browse Projects" permission for all relevant projects. What is the most likely cause of this issue?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
A board is only available to users who can view the saved filter on which the board is based. If the filter is kept private, other users will not be able to access the board, even if they have project-level permissions.
- Question 3Intermediate
Configuring Board Permissions and Filters · Subfilters
An operations manager is optimizing a company-managed Kanban board. They want to permanently exclude any issues with the resolution 'Duplicate' from appearing on the board entirely. Additionally, they want to give team members a one-click button to temporarily isolate 'Critical' priority items on the board.
Which combination of configuration features should the board administrator use to achieve this?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Subfilters permanently narrow down the issues displayed on a Kanban board (excluding 'Duplicate' resolutions). Quick Filters create toggleable buttons that users can click to dynamically filter the current view (isolating 'Critical' priorities).

Configuring Board Permissions and Filters · Filter Permissions and Sharing
A cross-functional department uses a shared, multi-project board spanning Projects A, B, and C. A specific user, Alex, reports that while they can successfully open and view the board layout, they see zero issues listed in the columns. Other team members see dozens of issues.
Select TWO valid reasons why this scenario might occur. (Select TWO)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answers: A, C
To see issues on a board, a user must have 'Browse Projects' permission for the projects where those issues reside. If they lack this, the board will load, but no issues will populate.
If the board filter restricts visibility to the currentUser(), the board will only show issues assigned to the person viewing it. If Alex has no assigned issues, their view will be empty.
- Question 5Intermediate
Configuring Board Permissions and Filters · JQL for Board Filters
A Jira administrator is configuring a Quick Filter on a shared company-managed board. The goal is to create a button that, when clicked, displays only the issues assigned to members of the specific 'frontend-devs' user group.
Which JQL query represents the correct syntax to achieve this?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The correct syntax uses the 'in' operator because the membersOf() function returns a list of multiple users, requiring 'in' rather than the exact match '=' operator.
- Question 6Advanced
Configuring Board Permissions and Filters · JQL for Board Filters
TechNova Corp uses a single Jira instance containing three company-managed projects: Frontend (FE), Backend (BE), and Infrastructure (INF).
The Release Manager requires a unified board with the following strict parameters:
- The board must display all unresolved issues from FE and BE.
- The board must never load or display INF issues under any circumstances.
- The manager needs a one-click button to view only issues that are currently blocking the release.
Which combination of configurations optimally meets these requirements using native Jira board features?

Correct answer: A
The Main Filter correctly scopes the board to only unresolved (resolution IS EMPTY) issues from FE and BE using the IN operator, securely excluding INF. The Quick Filter provides the one-click toggle for the Blocker priority.
