Items in the backlog, which status could they have?

[Ana Kosak]

How can I see all the tickets that are assign to a projects? the tickets previous to ToDo status, can be seen in the backlog?

This is to give visibility to some tickets in a Kanban board.

Regards.

Hello @Ana Kosak 

Projects are the containers for issues.

Boards (Kanban and scrum) are a method to manage and visualize groups of issues. The issues can be all issues in one project, a subset of issues in one project, or issues from multiple projects. The boards are based on filters that are built to determine which issues will be shown in the board.

You can use issue searching to find all the issues in a project and construct filters that you could use to build boards. More information on issue searching can be found here:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/search-for-issues-in-jira/

If you are working with issues in a Team Managed project, a board is automatically created for such projects when you create the project. For Team Managed Kanban boards, the difference between an issue being "in the backlog" vs. "on the board" is not based on the Status of the issue. Any issue in the Team Managed project can be either "in the backlog" or "on the board" regardless of Status. Issues are moved onto the board when you drag and drop them from the Backlog list to the Board list.

For more information on Kanban backlog for Team Managed projects refer to

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/enable-the-backlog/

For a Company Managed project Kanban board you choose issue Statuses to indicate issues are "in the backlog" versus "on the board". Issues are moved onto the board by changing the issue Status. The Column Settings for the board is where you map statuses to the Kanban Backlog vs. the columns that display on the board.
