Backlog in Scrum: Overview of Methods

The backlog is a list of all the team's tasks. Tasks, requests, ideas, and feedback are recorded and prioritized. Team members review the backlog and decide which tasks to take on in a sprint.

Connection of the Backlog with Other Objects

Workgroup. The backlog is linked to a workgroup (scrum) by the group identifier groupId. You can obtain the identifier using the create new group method or the get list of groups method. A group is considered a scrum if the SCRUM_MASTER_ID field is filled.

User. The backlog is associated with users by their numerical identifier in the createdBy and modifiedBy parameters. You can obtain the user identifier using the user.get method.

Features of the add and delete Methods

There can only be one backlog in Scrum; Bitrix24 creates it automatically.

The add backlog to Scrum method is useful only when importing data from another system, when you need to create a backlog after creating the Scrum.

Use the delete backlog method if you mistakenly added a backlog to a group or project that is not a scrum. If you delete the backlog in Scrum, Bitrix24 will automatically recreate it when opening the planning page.
