Create a section in the backlog on Kanban Project

Question

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to create a section in the backlog in a Kanban project, but the only way I can see is creating a status and putting it in a column in the kanban board, as you can see in the screenshot, is there any other way?

Such as the backlog and pending refinement create other?

Hello @Mario Amaya ,

Sadly, there is no other way than this one.

Hi @Mario Amaya,

It depends what you mean by a section.

If you mean a container to put in issues that are not in the backlog AND not on the actual board, the answer is no, that is not possible. You have the kanban backlog there and the ongoing work, nothing else. If that is what you need, you can mock that behviour using a scrum board. This has sprints, normally used to define iterations with a fixed length, but they can be used as sections if that is what you think you need.

Before jumping to conclusions too quickly, do ask yourself why you believe you need additional sections and what you would want to use them for. There may be different approaches to organising your work entirely ...

Hope this helps!

Hi Mario,

There is no way to add a section to the backlog user interface.
