Unscheduled tasks

The Backlog panel holds unscheduled tasks, which are:

  • Tasks without start and end dates defined

  • Tasks with one date (start or end date defined)

  • Tasks that are not assigned to any individual, team, or skill

Having those tasks available in the Backlog panel lets you easily assign them by moving a task from the backlog to swimlanes.

The Backlog sidebar is available from the 8.40 version of BigPicture.
