Tracking Progress in the Backlog Grid

This article explains how to track progress in the Backlog Grid.

Overview​

The Detail Tracking page shows all the open work in a sprint or iteration and can be used to view or update time and status. It is divided into two sections: Sprint or Iteration Summary and Backlog grid. The bottom of the page displays the Backlog grid. Here, you can enter Effort Hrs. (if tracked) and update the remaining To Do Hrs. estimate for each item that has changed.

Detail Estimates are also set for each task and, optionally, tests during sprint planning. These Detail Estimates are generally left as is once sprint planning is complete.

Detail Tracking Sprint Summary

Tracking can also be done on each team member's My Home page. The My Home page provides a filtered view for each team member. As such, it is often preferred when individuals are doing their own entry.
