How to use categories in backlog

How do I do this

Hi @Bianca de Weerd ,

I believe what's happening here, is sprints with names "Techncial Debt" and "Bugs" are created, so the issues can be categorized (instead of just have one big backlog). But these "fake" sprints are used only for categorization, they are never started etc.

Fake sprints can be very useful for larger backlogs, but they do need a bit of rigour from the team - one simple "trick" is to have a rule that the team must always draw at least one issue from the fake sprints in every real sprint.
