Can I add a JIRA ticket from one project to a sprint from another project?

JIRA's Agile screen lets me take all the tickets in one project; and drag them to the sprint.

However, I don't see any way to add a ticket from a different project to that sprint.

Can it be done?

You can include tickets from as many projects as you like in a sprint. As mentioned in Scott's answer, this can be done by editing the filter used for that board. This filter doesn't have to specify what project a ticket is in, it just need to meet your filter's requirements.

So if you wanted to see all tickets from a project and any with a certain label you could change your filter to:

project in (proj1, proj2) or labels='component'

This will show all tickets that are in proj1, proj2, and tickets with the label component.

Keep in mind that if you do add tickets from a different project, your scrum lead or whomever ends the sprints will also need to be an administrator in that project. https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AGILE/Ending+a+Sprint

Here's Atlassian's documentation on JQL if you're interested in going deeper into filters https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Advanced+Searching

Boards can include issues from multiple projects if the board is configured to look at them.

To do this, you will need to edit the board filter to include another project.

In JIRA Agile 6.x, you do this by going to Agile -> Manage Boards, clicking Configure for your board, selecting the General tab, and then clicking edit on the Saved Filter option. You can then modify the filter to include multiple projects by adding them to the projects dropdown (if using Basic view), or with JQL (if using the Advanced view) such as the following:

project in (PROJ1, PROJ2, PROJ3) ORDER BY Rank ASC

Having done that, save the filter and you should the see all of the corresponding issues on the board. If you do not have a "Save" button (but only "Save As"), the filter belongs to someone else and you cannot edit it. In that case, you can either:

  1. ask the owner of the filter to make the changes for you, or
  2. save the filter with a new name, and then go back to the Configure screen for the board, hover over the name of the old filter, click the Pencil icon, and then type in the name of your newly-saved filter.
