How can I add one of the descriptive fields in the backlog overview?

Chris Boerakker

Hi everyone,

 

I'm administering user stories of several teams in one backlog. We give a priority for preparation for the sprint planning and we, as IT team, also give story points. But every team sets it's own priority (number) within the team. As the rating range varies it would be nice to have that rating next to the story points and the priority in the backlog overview to make planning across teams easier.

 

How do I add a field to the backlog as extra 'column'?

Thank you

Hello @Chris Boerakker 

Are you working with a Team Managed project or a Company Managed project?

For a Company Managed project you can add up to three fields to the cards in the backlog. On your board click the ... button in the upper right and select Settings. Then select Card Layout. There you can add three fields to the Backlog cards, and three fields to the Board cards.

Note this doesn't add the field as a "column" in the card. Instead it adds the data below the existing data. There is a change request about being able to change the columns here:
