    What is the ALM Octane Backlog?

    The backlog is a list of items to handle during product development.

    In ALM Octane, you manage the backlog in the Backlog module. The Backlog module contains: The tree containing the hierarchy of epics and features, regardless of release. A grid with separate tabs for Epics, Features, Backlog Items, and tests.

    The Backlog module lets you:

    • Create epics and features, user stories, or quality stories

    • Open defects for problems encountered during development, testing, or application deployment

    • Rank items and plan development cycles

    • Add tests to epics, features, user and quality stories, or defects

    • Track release and sprint development progress

  • Create an Epic as part of your backlog3:54
  • Create a Feature based on a Epic4:27

    Learn to create a feature from an epic in ALM Octane, with release, milestone, owner, business feature type, and story points, using the prioritization framework to track epic progress.

  • Create an user story in backlog module5:12

    Learn to create a user story in the backlog module from a feature, assign epic and sprint, generate tasks from a template, and track progress and points.

  • Move and re-structure Backlog Items2:27

    Move and re-structure backlog items using drag-and-drop in the ALM Octane backlog module. Reorganize stories and features across epics and themes via the backlog tree.

  • Create Test Coverage on Backlog Item3:23

    Learn to create test coverage for backlog items by accessing the backlog module, selecting the proper context, and linking or creating manual and automated tests.

  • Working with the dependency map7:05

    Learn to work with dependencies on a planning board, using the dependency map to identify upstream and problematic dependencies, and plan releases and iterations across teams.

  • Fixing problematic dependencies for a release2:45

    Fix problematic dependencies by using the dependency map to plan upstream preconditions before sprint one. Assign the feature to the correct team and refresh to confirm no downstream risk.

  • Refine your display by assigning colors used by filters3:39

    Refine your defect and backlog item displays by assigning colors to filters in grid, slim grid, and board views, available from version 15 through 20.

  • Work with defects relevant to you4:23

    Navigate defects and backlog items you follow. Filter by your followed items and use color coding to flag age, then unfollow closed issues to stay focused.

  • Working with Different Display Options for Defects6:24

    Master defect display options in the issues module, from grid and slim grid to smart and board views, with filtering, grouping, column customization, and export capabilities.

  • Working with Quick Filters3:16

    Use the quick filters in the issues module to rapidly refine the current view, include and exclude filters, and add fields such as team and programs.

  • Working with Favorites5:32
  • Grouping Option by Column2:21
  • Reporting Feature Quality Status5:45

    Learn to monitor feature quality with the feature quality status widget in the dashboard, filter by sprint or release, and visualize test coverage to identify gaps.
