Show backlog next to scrum board

[Magnus Bakke]

I have a scrum board with a custom workflow (adding an "IN REVIEW" column). The only thing I can't seem to figure out is how to show the backlog to the left of the "TO DO" column. I want to be able to drag an issue from the backlog and drop it in the "TO DO" column of the current sprint, all on the same screen. I vividly remember this being how it was done in a previous job.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Magnus Bakke,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

The backlog column is only available on Kanban boards, Scrum boards have a separate sections for the backlog that allows you to do sprint planning and prioritize your backlog.

Thank you, Mikael. Is this also the case for the classic version?

[Mikael Sandberg]

If you by classic is referring to company-managed projects then yes.

[Magnus Bakke]

Thank you.

By classic, I'm referring to the "classic" project template, as opposed to next-gen. I don't believe I've been presented with such a choice on this project, but I can tell you for sure that I dragged issues from "backlog" and dropped into "to do" daily on a previous job, which is exactly what I want.

FYI

"Classic" has been rebranded as "Company Managed"

"next-gen" has been rebranded as "Team Managed"
