Summary
Creating a new project based on an agile shared configuration yields a Software project with all the same schemes, but there is no board created, so it does not look like a Software project.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new project or have a previously created Software project available
- Create a new project based on a shared configuration
- Choose the previous Software project
Expected Results
The new project should be created and an agile board should be visible
Actual Results
The new project is created but only a list of issues is visible. When viewing the list of existing projects, the project shows up as a software project. When viewing the database, the project is listed as a software project.

(29 rows)
Above, successfactors.n2 was created based on the configuration APPLE is using. Marty Test Two was created based on the configuration Marty Test One is using. In both instances each project resulted in a business board.
Switching the project type to business and then back to software does not correct the problem. Switching the project to a service desk project does result in a service desk project board however. Switching back to software from service desk changes the board back to a business board.
Workaround
In your new project, under the project avatar in the sidebar, click the "Create Board" link. Create a new scrum or kanban board for an existing project, and make sure your current project is selected. The board and backlog will become available in the sidebar.
