Work with a Backlog

Last modified: 09 October 2024

A backlog is a set of issues that await planning and implementation. In other words, it is the collection of unfinished work that your development team can build to improve the product. Teams normally prioritize issues in the backlog to determine which issues are addressed in each release cycle.

In YouTrack, the collection of issues that are displayed in the backlog on an agile board is represented by a saved search. This search query has the possibility of matching any issue in YouTrack. This means whenever an issue is created that matches the criteria for the saved search, it is added to the backlog automatically.
