Select backlog navigation levels for your team
Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019
Each team has the flexibility to choose their preferred backlog levels. Feature teams may focus on their product backlog, while management teams may only display feature and epic backlogs (the default portfolio backlogs). You can configure backlog levels through team settings.
If you need more portfolio backlogs, see the following articles based on the process model you use:
- Inheritance: Customize your backlogs or boards for a process
- On-premises XML: Add portfolio backlogs.
For an overview of process models, see Customize your work tracking experience.
Prerequisites
To configure team settings, you must be added to the Team Administrator role or be a member of the Project Administrators security group. To get added, see Add a team administrator or Change project-level permissions.
