If you're not already part of a team, you'll see a link on your Home page to join one.

4. View your team's backlog

Your team's backlog organizes all of your work items into a series of workflow steps, helping your team progress stories from waiting to be started to completion—including a category for tasks you won't do.

You can toggle between viewing your backlog in list view for a simple breakdown, or board view for a more visual Kaban-style workflow.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the workflow steps and ask your team about their process. This will help you understand how work progresses and where you can contribute.
