Frequently Asked Questions

Backlog brings together powerful project management features with an intuitive user interface that’s easy for everyone to use. Teams use Backlog to assign tasks, manage deliverables, work together on collaborative projects, and more.

The platform brings clarity to confusion, replacing spreadsheets and email chains with a comprehensive project management framework that consolidates all work into one central hub. With features including project wikis, file storage, communication tools, reports, and more, Backlog helps your team plan less and do more.

Backlog comes with a number of features that help users manage their projects more efficiently. Some of our users’ favorite features include:

Task management: create detailed tasks and sub-tasks and assign them to team members.
Gantt charts: visualize project timelines for individuals and teams with auto-generated Gantt charts.
Kanban boards: visually manage projects with real-time Kanban boards and custom status levels.
Burndown charts: Backlog’s burndown charts help project managers track progress and identify bottlenecks.
Communication tools: exchange comments, send notifications, assign tasks, and more to ensure your team never gets its wires crossed again.
Code management: built-in version control tools for Git and SVN help developers manage code and documentation right alongside their project work.
And more – file sharing, integrations, automated task creation – Backlog can do it all.

Backlog comes with a suite of powerful tools to help project managers better manage their team’s work. One feature is the ability to create tasks and subtasks using parent-child hierarchies. This allows teams to understand task dependencies and ensures work gets done efficiently. Take things a step further by mapping these tasks to project milestones that indicate the completion of a project phase.

If you want to learn more about the best ways to use Backlog to manage your team’s work, visit our Project Management Resource Center to browse a series of how-to guides packed with insider tips and tricks from our team.

Yes. In Backlog, you can create, manage, and track all your tasks in one place.

You can view your tasks in multiple ways, including task lists. On each list, you’ll see the name of the task, the assignee, the due date, and the current status of the task. If you want more detail on any task, all you need to do is click on that specific task. Plus, you can break down larger, complex tasks into multiple subtasks.

There’s no need to stick solely to using task lists to manage tasks, though. Backlog also offers a range of visual task management tools, including Gantt charts, Kanban boards, and burndown charts, that help project managers ensure their team completes their work on time.

Backlog brings transparency to teamwork, serving as a single source of truth for important projects and tasks. Team members can communicate easily with each other, exchanging comments, sending notifications, and sharing files on individual tasks and subtasks.

Users can create project wikis that serve as a central repository for shared team resources and documentation. Important project files can be uploaded and managed in centrally located folders. There are also integrations with popular communication platforms, including Slack and Microsoft Teams.

Backlog is an especially great fit for development teams that need to work together on code. Users can review and discuss code together with inline comments before integrating new code into a project.

Absolutely. Many of the 18,000 businesses that use Backlog are small businesses and startups, and we’re excited to support their ambitious goals.

Popular Backlog features among small teams and startups include Backlog’s task management, version control, bug tracking, and reporting tools. When working across departments, Backlog makes it easy for developers to sync with product leaders, marketing, sales, and more. To learn more about how small teams and startups are successful with Backlog, check out this case study: How Backlog helped a tech startup launch an award-winning product.

Backlog’s file-sharing features streamline project management processes by ensuring all files are exactly where team members need them. Users can upload files to individual tasks as attachments, meaning everyone has the resources they need to work on that task.

For more general project files, such as customer journey maps or product documentation, users can upload files to Backlog’s central file management system. Here, files can be organized in folders according to your team’s existing information hierarchy. Users can search for files by name or browse all uploaded files to find what they need. Administrators can define account access rules that specify which users can update, remove, or rename files.

You certainly can. In Backlog, you can set up as many projects as you like. Each tier of Backlog supports a different number of projects, so whether you need to track 1, 5, or 100 projects simultaneously, you can do so in Backlog.

When users log in to Backlog, they’ll see a summary of their projects on the Backlog dashboard. From there, they can navigate to individual projects and tasks with just a click or two. Users are only subscribed to the projects they’re assigned to. Plus, visual tools, including Kanban boards and Gantt charts, help users quickly understand the status of different tasks within those projects.

There are a variety of ways for users to customize Backlog to the needs of their individual projects. These include:

Custom status levels: create unique status levels for different stages of task completion. Your team can use these custom statuses to track projects in a way that aligns with your existing workflow.
Custom issue types and templates: use markdown formatting to create custom issue templates and add new issue types to ensure your team is always briefed on tasks in line with your established processes.
Custom fields: administrators can create custom fields. These fields can be text, number, multiple choice, or single choice fields and should be used to give your team the ability to track projects according to their existing project management workflows.
Custom project themes: teams can customize the icons, backgrounds, and colors in their Backlog account to better match project or company branding.

Backlog is a highly flexible project management software platform. Users can customize almost every aspect of their project, from task descriptions to project milestones.

Backlog isn’t just a project management platform; it’s the place where teamwork happens. Our goal is to help teams plan less and do more, and a major part of that is helping teams better communicate and collaborate.

In Backlog, project team members can assign each other tasks, share comments and feedback, and send notifications to team members to get their input. Integrations to popular communication platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams ensure everyone stays up-to-date on a project’s status in real time.

For development teams, Backlog’s version control features enable teams to share inline comments on code and review changes together before submitting changes to the live codebase.

Effective project management is central to the success of all high-performance teams. Without excellent project management, tasks don’t get done to spec, and teams fall behind on important deadlines. That leads to a poor customer experience, which ultimately translates into poor results for your business.

A thoughtful, strategic approach to project management, underpinned by a project management software tool like Backlog, creates an environment where team members can work together in an organized, efficient fashion. That means projects get completed to spec and on time, leading to memorable customer experiences that help grow your business.
