Purpose: The backlog contains a list of all the stories (tasks) we need to do related to the app.

Columns:

Title: The name of the story.
Assignees: Whose working on the story.
Status: Status of story: Todo, In progress, or PR, Done, Blocked.
Points: The difficulty of task from 1-5.
Priority: Priority of story: Low, Medium, High, Very High.
Label: Multiple options, serves as a quick view of what the story is about. You can choose more then one.
Type: Type of story: Bug (fixing a issue), Feature (adding an enhancement), or Task (if other two are not applicable).
Milestone: The semester the work is done in.
Sprint: The 2-week-ish time period work is done in. Blue CoLab uses sprints - sprints end when the 'Summary' assignments are due or when midterm/final take place.

Each of the above can be added via the linked view by clicking on the small down arrow or editing it cell directly.

Current Sprint

Link | What is it? | Kanban

Purpose: List the tasks that are being worked on for the current sprint. As you progress through the story you can move them around to change their status.

Notes: If you see that this board is blank, it seems a new sprint was started. Update the previous' sprint stories so they are under the current one. This can be done via the Backlog view.
