Thanks to both of you for bringing up this fantastic video explaining about Backlog creation and management in ADO. Looking forward for more such videos from you both.

This is helpful. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I look forward to watching your other videos. Definitely want to see your forecasting video that you mentioned.

Kelly, how did you put the sprint lines in the product backlog item list?

Can I see linked issues on boards? Can I see how they are linked each other?

Hi, is there a chance to drag and drop backlkog items like in Jira to change the priority?

[jesussanguinetti]

thank you for the video. I learned new things. Is there a way in ADO to prioritize the backlog by using a number other than the 1, 2, 3, 4 options in the Priority? If I have a rather small backlog and I want to go through the exercise of saying this is my most important item/issue/story/pbi down to the least important, is there a way to do it for ADO to display it that way? thank you

[calmingthemind]

I see "Iteration" instead of "Sprint"/ How to change it?

[Jonnata]

Thank you for the video. One quick question: How do I delete a product backlog?

[stephanieds]

Great video !
One quick question : How did you manage to get the sprints line/section in the backlog view ?

[ziddib]

What is the diffrence between Work items and Backlogs on the left side of the navigation pane?

[jonnenne]

Kelly should invest about 20 bucks for a mic :D

[arnaudchekap]

Thank you for this with US. How do you add the forecast tile to the backlog?

Thanks for your videos, they're very helpful. Is it possible to have a video on parent-child state change for work items on both sprint and story boards? I'll really appreciate it. Keep up the good work.
