How to define the Backlog Items

In order to create his Product Backlog, the Product Owner enters the Backlog Items with a Business Value and a Priority for each of them. He will then prioritize the Backlog items regarding those two characteristics.

  1. Log in to the HTML5 client.

  2. Select the Work workspace, Agile tab.

  3. Select a project in the Project Data Selector.

  4. To create a new Backlog Item:

    1. Click on the rasp-Add.pngbutton to open the Backlog Item dialog box.

    2. OR, click on the BACKLOG button available at the bottom of the Project Information panel to open the Full Backlog full screen view.

      Then, click on the New (NewProject) button to open the Backlog Item dialog box.

  5. Enter:

    1. A Name – written as a “User story”

    2. A Type – Story, Defect, Task, or Issue

    3. A Business Value and/or a Priority

  6. Depending on where you created the Backlog Item, either a Backlog Item card or a new row is created.

Note

If Backlog Items are created in the Full Backlog full screen view, upon clicking on the Add 10 (Add_10.png) button, ten new rows will be added in the spreadsheet for the user to fill in or copy/paste.
