Backlog Management

The backlog is where you keep stories that aren't assigned to any sprint yet. It's your idea parking lot — a place to capture future work without committing to a timeline.

Viewing the backlog

Navigate to your project and click the Backlog tab. You'll see all stories that don't have a sprint assigned.

Adding stories to the backlog

There are several ways to add backlog stories:

1. From the backlog page — Click New Story at the top of the backlog
2. From a sprint — Remove a story's sprint assignment to send it to the backlog
3. Via import — Import stories from CSV or JSON without assigning a sprint

Moving stories from backlog to a sprint

1. Open a backlog story
2. Use the Assign to Sprint dropdown in the sidebar
3. Select the target sprint
4. The story moves to that sprint instantly

You can also do this from the Sprint Planning view by dragging backlog stories into the sprint.

Organizing the backlog

• Priority — Set priority (Critical, High, Medium, Low) to sort important work to the top
• Story Points — Estimate effort to help with sprint planning
• Epics — Stories can be associated with epics even while in the backlog
