We have a JIRA Agile (epic) project that uses a scrum board. I see where to put the user stories, which is essentially the sprint backlog. Where or how is the product backlog entered and managed on the JIRA agile scrum board?
Thanks
Same place - product and sprint backlogs are analogous really. (Think of it this way - what's the difference between a story for a product that needs some attention, and a story that should go into a sprint at some point?)
I don't see them as analogous because the product backlog is supposed to be the running list of features, prioritized by the product manager and the sprint backlog is a slice of the product backlog that is being actively developed in the sprint. To me, those lists need to be managed separately
But the items themselves are the same thing. The difference you describe is just the difference between "currently planned in a sprint" and "not planned into a sprint". Which you can see on the backlog view - sprints at the top of the list with the planned items in them, unplanned backlog below. I don't see any benefit from separating them. In fact, it's worse, because if you're looking at "unplanned", you can't see the stuff that is planned, and that can be useful when you're planning.
I understand that product backlog and sprint backlog are the same item; my question is how to differentiate the 2 sp the team knows what to work on in the sprint. So where are sprints defined and tracked if the user stories are the product backlog?
Ok thank you, that works for me
