Closing and Reopening a Backlog Goal or Objective

This article explains how to close and reopen backlog goals and objectives in Agility.

Overview​

You can close a backlog goal or objective only after all associated work items have been completed and all strategic objectives have been met. Closing a backlog goal or objective should not be confused with deleting a backlog goal or objective. Closing a backlog goal or objective leaves the backlog goal or objective in the system for auditing or tracking purposes, while deleting a backlog goal or objective removes it entirely from the system.

Closing a Backlog Goal or Objective​

  1. Click the hamburger icon Hamburger icon > Product > Backlog Goals (or Objectives).
  2. Click on the Summary by Project drop-down menu, and then select Close Backlog Goal (or Close Objective).

  2. (Optional) If the closed objectives are not displayed in the grid, open the Filter drop-down menu, and then select Show Closed Backlog Goals ( or Objectives).
  3. Click on the Summary by Project drop-down menu, and select Close Backlog Goal (or Close Objective). The backlog goal or objective displays it again on the grid without the strike-through.
