Name a filter, save it, make it your default

Build the view you keep needing — unassigned high-priority bugs, everything awaiting review — then name it, save it and set it as your default. The count of matches updates as you narrow, so you know what you are looking at.

  • Task types: Story, Bug, Task, Epic
  • Completed and sprint-task toggles
  • Save a named filter and make it default
  • Live match count as you narrow

Review status is a first-class filter

Work moves through No Review, Needs Review, Changes Requested and Approved. That means "what is waiting on me to sign off" is a filter rather than a question you ask in chat.

Detail

  • No Review, Needs Review, Changes Requested, Approved
  • Filter the backlog by review state
  • Pairs with client approvals in the portal

Points and capacity while you plan

Each row carries a Fibonacci point scale and the sprint capacity panel sits alongside, so pulling work into the next sprint is a decision made against a number rather than a feeling.

  • Fibonacci story points per row
  • Sprint capacity panel beside the list
  • Select-all and bulk operations
  • Push straight into a sprint

Straight answer

What is the difference between the backlog and a board column?

A board column is part of an active delivery flow. The backlog holds work that is accepted but not yet scheduled into a sprint or a column.

Run the whole client lifecycle in one workspace.

Backlog is one part of it. Plan the work, keep clients informed, track the budget and get paid — without another subscription.
