Your backlog is a list of tasks that represents outstanding work in a project. Usually, a project would have issues in the backlog, and you can add these issues to a sprint so your team can work on them. Since Teams in Space is a new project, you won't have issues on your backlog. Let's create some work for your team.

How do I get to my board?

If you navigate away from your board, you can easily return to it by selecting Boards from the top navigation menu, and selecting your board "Teams in Space" from the list of recent boards.

Backlog

The Backlog gives you a place to organize your sprints. You can create new issues or sub-tasks, organize your backlog, create versions, organize via epics, and start sprints.

  1. Backlog: A list of the current issues in the backlog (we've filled it with some issues here to give you an idea of how it'll look like).
  2. Issue detail view: A detailed view of the currently selected issues. 

Create issues

By default, any team member can create issues. In this tutorial, however, you will create all of the backlog issues.

  1. On the Teams in Space board, choose Create at the top of the screen. 



    Fill in the fields using the data shown below. Only the fields with * are mandatory. 

    • Project: Teams in Space
    • Issue Type: Story
    • Summary: Expand travel to destinations outside of The Solar System
    • Priority: High 
    • Leave all other fields blank or at their default values.
  2. Choose Create to make a new issue. An issue key (TIS-1) is created for this issue, which comes in handy when searching for issues later.




Tip! If you select the Create another checkbox, Jira Software will create your issue and automatically pre-populate a new 'Create Issue' dialog box with your previous issue details.

Add more issues

One issue isn't enough to get your team working! Let's add more issues so you can create and run a complete sprint. Create the following issues using the same steps as above.
