Because projects require tweaking and an opportunity to see the bigger picture from time to time, we’ve provided users with the Backlog layout as well. The Backlog offers an overview of your project’s Epics and Sections. Epics are broad categories for project features or goals, whereas Sections allow you to design an organizational structure for Stories and Assignments. While they may be different in functionality, both provide a way to build a personalized workflow for you and your team to follow.
To better understand the Backlog’s viability, we’ve provided a few sample Sections to get you started.
