Get started

Agile Cards for Jira bridges the gap between digital and physical task management by transforming your Jira issues into tangible cards. It lets you:

  • Print high-quality cards from Jira issues for physical boards.

  • Customize card layouts with the information your team needs.

  • Synchronize physical board changes back to Jira with a simple photo.

Follow the steps outlined below to get started.

Step 1: Create your first template

Before printing your first cards, you'll need to set up a template that determines what information appears on your physical cards. Once you have your template ready, you can start printing Jira issues as cards.

Tip: Create different templates for different teams or purposes (for example, Sprint Planning and Daily Standup cards).

Step 2: Print your cards

Now that your template is ready, you can print Jira issues as physical cards. You can print from:

  • Active sprints: Print all issues from a sprint column.

  • Issue view: Print a single issue.

  • Kanban boards and backlogs: Print selected or all issues.

  • Search results: Print multiple issues from a JQL search.

To print, click Print issues from any Jira view and select the template you want.

Refer to Configure print and template screens to learn more.

Best practices

  • Include only the most critical information on cards.

  • Use color coding to enhance visual scanning.

  • Create multiple templates as different meetings can require different card designs.

  • Establish a routine for synchronizing physical changes back to Jira.

  • Get feedback on card designs from your team to ensure they work for everyone.

You can now use your physical board.

Step 3: Set up your physical board

For optimal results with physical cards:

  • Organize your physical board to match your Jira workflow columns.

  • If you plan to use the synchronization feature:

    • Print and place KR-coded splitters mentioned in Step 4 on your board to define columns.

    • Ensure your issue cards have KR codes enabled when printing.

Step 4: Synchronize physical changes to Jira

With Agile Cards Scanner, you can update your Jira board using a simple photo of your physical board. This keeps your digital and physical boards in sync.
