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.
Create issues
By default, any team member can create issues. In this tutorial, however, you will create all of the backlog issues.
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.
- 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.
| Type | Summary | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Story | Build out a local office on Mars | High |
| Story | Add support for teams larger than 20 people | High |
| Story | Next Generation version of SeeSpaceEZ travel platform | Low |
| Story | Plans for our Summer Saturn Sale | High |
| Story | Make working with our space travel partners easier | Low |
| Story | 500 Error when requesting a reservation | Medium |
| Story | Requesting available flights is now taking > 5 seconds | Highest |
Great! Your backlog's all set! Now, let's plan some work for your developers to do!
