Prioritise

Visual Backlog draws groups the issue graph in into layers of issues sorted by priority from the highest to the lowest.

...

  1. Set the Layout Direction to Vertical using the Layout Direction Button

  2. Filter out issues without epics (issues without epics are always drawn on the first layer anyway)

  3. Prioritise! assign priority to your issues or schedule them for un upcoming sprint. Issues will be grouped into rows ordered from the top to the bottom by descending priority.

    1. double click an issue to open issue modal

    2. edit the relevant fields e.g. sprint, priority

    3. close the modal (Visual Backlog picks up the changes on modal closing)

Drag and drop

...

Create issue links with Visual Backlog by following those simple steps

  1. Identify the issues to be linked: in this example, we want a blocks link from GIBRAL-27 to GIBRAL-29

  2. If the issues are far from each other, do not hesitate to reposition them close to each other. Don’t worry about the layout, Visual Backlog will take care of fixing that

  3. Drag and Drop a connection from the right port of GIBRAL-27 to the left port of GIBRAL-29

  4. Select an issue link from the drop down, in this case it is a blocks link

  5. Voilà! Visual Backlog will refresh the data and reposition the issues to reflect the new state.

Issue modal

...

Alternatively, you can use the issue modal and edit issue links as you would do in Jira. Double click on of the issues and edit the issue links accordingly.

Issue links can be edited by editing the dropdown of that particular link.

Aklternatively, they can be edited using the issue modal. See
