Select backlog navigation levels
Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019
Each team has the flexibility to choose and configure multiple backlog levels according to their needs. Feature teams might focus on their product backlog, while management teams might display both feature and epic backlogs (the default portfolio backlogs). You can add and configure these backlog levels through team settings to suit your team's workflow.
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.
