Backlogs configuration

Configure your backlogs settings in OpenProject.

Navigate to -> Administration -> Backlogs -> Settings to set up your backlogs.

You can configure the following in the backlogs settings.

1. Set the work package types which should be used as story types. Press Ctrl. to choose several types. The story types will appear in the Backlogs view (product backlog, wish list, sprint) and can be created, prioritized directly in the Backlogs view, e.g. EPIC, FEATURE, BUG.
2. Set the task type. The task type will appear in the task board to manage in your daily stand ups.
3. Define to show burn-down or burn-up chart.
4. Set a template for sprint wiki page. If you create a wiki page with this name, e.g. sprintwiki, you will set up a new wiki page based on this template if you open it via the sprint drop-down menu in the backlogs view. This way, you can easily create templates for sprint review meetings or retrospectives.
5. Press the blue apply button to save your changes.
