Within the Backlog screen, effective management of your backlog items and tasks is at your fingertips. Seamlessly initiate and establish sprints with utmost ease. Explore your backlog data presented in two distinct formats: the visually engaging Cards view or the structured List view. It’s important to note that the Backlog screen is exclusive to Scrum projects and is not accessible within Kanban or Business project frameworks.

Once you’ve populated your backlog with tasks, the next step is to initiate a sprint using those tasks. To begin the sprint, simply transfer the desired tasks from the backlog into the sprint section. This can be easily accomplished by using the drag-and-drop functionality.

Additionally, if you need to introduce a new task within the ongoing sprint, you can do so seamlessly by utilizing the “+Add new task” button.
​

​

Creating Sprints
​

Upon accessing the platform, you’ll discover an initial sprint labeled as “Sprint-1.” The default status for this sprint is “Upcoming” since it hasn’t commenced yet. To initiate a new sprint, simply click on the “+” icon.
​

After successfully generating a new sprint, it will be displayed on the right-hand side of the original sprint, effectively organizing the sprints chronologically.
​

​

Modifying Sprints
​

You have the ability to fine-tune the details of a sprint by making changes to its name, adjusting its start and due dates, and specifying how long the sprint will last. All of these adjustments can be easily carried out within the sprint edit panel. To comprehensively explore these functions, let’s take a closer look at each one:
​

Step 1 : Click on the “Edit Sprint” button.
​

Step 2 : Within the sprint edit panel, you can rename the sprint, set its start and due dates, and also determine the sprint’s duration according to your project needs.
​

Viewing Sprint Details
​

To access in-depth information about a sprint, simply click on the “Detail” text button.
​

Start sprint
​

Initially, the sprint status is marked as “Upcoming sprint” since the sprint has yet to commence. However, if the sprint lacks any tasks, initiating it is not possible. To start the sprint, it’s essential for the sprint to contain at least one item or task.
​

To initiate the sprint, follow these steps:
​

Step 1 : Click the “Start” button.
​

Step 2 : Once the “Start” button is clicked, a subsequent panel will emerge. Within this panel, you have the option to customize the sprint details before triggering the sprint by clicking the “Start” button.
​

Congratulations! Your first sprint is now underway!
​

Once initiated, the sprint will transition automatically to the board screen. Returning to the backlog screen, you’ll notice the sprint status has changed to “Active sprint,” and the “Start” button has transformed into the “Mark As Completed” button, indicating that the sprint is now underway.
​

Sprint completion
​

Sprinting completion is a seamless process that can be executed directly from the Backlog screen. Follow these steps to finalize a sprint:
​

Step 1: Click on the “Mark As Completed” button.

Step 2: A panel will appear, offering you several possibilities for completing the sprint:

Possibility 1: All Items Done
​

If all items within the sprint are marked as done, the completion process is straightforward. The panel will display without any drop-down options. Simply click the “Save” button to successfully complete the sprint.
​

Possibility 2: No Items Done.
​

When none of the sprint items are marked as done, the panel will include a drop-down list presenting all available sprints and the backlog. You must choose one of these options to allocate undone tasks before completing the sprint.
​

Post-completion, the undone tasks will be visible in your selected location, either the backlog or the sprint.
​

Possibility 3: Mixed Completion Status
​

For scenarios where some items are done while others remain unfinished, a similar panel will appear.
​

Upon clicking the “Mark as Complete” button, you’ll need to select an appropriate option from the panel. Following sprint completion, any remaining undone tasks will be relocated to your chosen destination – either the backlog or the sprint.
​

Sprint Completion in List View
​

The sprint completion option is also available in the list view of the backlog.
​

Streamlining item management is made highly efficient with the essential use of filters. A diverse set of six filter types is available, enabling precise item sorting based on factors like assignee, Epic, label, estimation, and more. Upon selecting the filter button, a dedicated panel will be presented.
​

Within this filter panel, you gain the capability to leverage filtering options, simultaneously applying multiple filters if needed. This empowers you to swiftly navigate and locate specific items directly from the backlog screen, enhancing your overall workflow efficiency.

How to apply the filter
​

To filter items, simply click the filter option highlighted within the filter panel. You’ll notice the filter count displayed on the filter button. Once you’ve made your selections, the backlog screen will automatically showcase items matching your chosen filter criteria.
​

How to close the filter panel
​

To close the filter panel, just click on the highlighted area of the Filters button. This action will promptly close the filter panel.
​

After closure, the backlog display returns to its default view, as shown in the accompanying screenshot.
​

How to clear the filter options
​

Please note that the above step only closes the filter panel and does not clear active filters. To remove filters entirely, click the cross icon within the filter button.
​

This action resets filters, displaying all issues comprehensively on the backlog screen.

When utilizing the backlog screen, you have the flexibility to choose between two distinct viewing modes: Card view and List view.

Card view:

The default presentation style for the backlog screen is the Card view. This mode showcases content in a card-based format.

List view

If you wish to transition from the card view to the list view, simply click on the “Switch to List View” button.

In the list view, the same content is displayed in a well-structured list format, offering an enhanced representation.

The group By

In the list view, you have the ability to sort items by Status, Assignee, Issue type, Priority, and Epic. Please note that the Filter option is not accessible in the list view. By default, sprint items are sorted in an organized manner.
