Plan the backlog

Prioritize, estimate and move tickets into sprints using the Planning and List views.

The Backlog tab has two views. Use Planning to drag tickets into sprints, and List to edit many tickets quickly.

Planning view

"Drag tickets between the backlog and sprints to plan upcoming work." Columns show the Backlog, the active sprint and each planned sprint. Drag a ticket from one column to another to move it, or within a column to change its order.
