Backlog panel

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.
