How to add other statuses to a spint backlog

Harald Heinz

Hi,

used to be configuring kanban boards were you can easily map several statuses to the backlog column in the board settings.
However, in a sprint board driven project's board settings, this backlog column is missing. How can I add the currently unmapped statuses I created ("Funnel" and "Analyzing") to be backlog statuses?

Best regards,

H.

Hello @Harald Heinz

Welcome to the Community!

In Scrum (sprint-driven) Boards, the Backlog is not automatically in the Board Columns. However, you can find it on the left-hand-side called "Backlog". There, you see all issues unassigned to a status yet.

If you want to be able to see it in the Board directly and add statuses to it, you can do it like this:

Click on Board Settings (three dots on right-top corner)
Click on "Columns"
Create a new column called "Backlog" and drag the wanted statuses (Funnel, Analyzing) to it.

I hope this helped,
Mara

Hi Mara, thanks.

Worked, guess I just didn't expect Jira to recognize a manually created + named backlog column and associate it with the backlog "functions".

Hi Harald,

Brilliant! I'm glad I could help.
In this case, it would be a great help to me if you could officially "accept my answer".

Thank you & best wishes,

Hi @Mara (bitvoodoo ag)

done.

One final question: I did as you described and -by adding the column- the new Backlog statuses Funnel & Analyzing also show in the dedicated backlog view as intended.

However, this seems to make it mandatory to have the backlog column in the sprint board view from now on. Can the column be hidden?
