Getting Stories Into Your Board

Use the steps below to determine how Stories are added to your board. No matter which option you choose, all Stories that match the criteria that you select are initially displayed in the Board Backlog lane.

  1. Click PLANNING > GUID-C62FD764-55BB-42BE-B783-E30AEBC3BDD1-low.png Kanban Boards.
  2. Click GUID-E5A11DAB-2D51-4C04-AAC0-B849DE1767C3-low.png > Administrator for the board to configure. The Kanban Board Administrator window appears.
  3. In the Board Backlog Source group, select one of the following:
    Sprint
    Select this option to use your Sprints as the source for your board's Stories. Typically only used if you are moving from Scrum to Kanban or if you plan to use both together.
    Release
    Select this option to use Releases as the source for your board's Stories. This option allows you to define a target payload for a specific release and use a board to manage its delivery. Using this option allows you to use Rhythm's TRACKING perspective.
    Custom Filter
    Select this option to use a pre-defined custom filter as the source for your Board's Stories. This option provides the ultimate flexibility. You can include anything that you can filter on, including Tags. For more information, see Working with Filters.
    Note: The Custom Filter must be a Project-level filter and cannot be changed to public or shared.
  4. Click OK.
