Working with Backlogs

Backlogs serve as containers for user stories and epics, the Scrum equivalent of requirements. You can manage both product and release backlogs.

The Backlog Task Navigator works just like the standard Task Navigator. For more information see Item Navigator.

The flat view allows you to group and sort tasks on almost any item attribute. In addition, the flat view exhibits the general behavior common to the table-based view types in the Task Navigator.

The hierarchical view allows you to define the order of the items at each structure level. This view displays the general behavior described for the table-based views of the Task Navigator. However, the hierarchical view does not support grouping and does not display long text fields.
