# Triage items and add them to a backlog in Agile Development 2.0 {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Review the list of items in your triage board and add them to your Agile Development 2.0 backlog. Based on their priority, you can schedule them in the
upcoming sprints for your product teams to work on them.

## Before you begin

[Set up a triage board in Agile Development 2.0](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/GcGNLDjFRj5ZA20QZAi4~w "Set up your own triage board to view and manage records that are important to your product. These records include problems, incident tasks, defects, or change requests, viewable at one place easily.")Role required: scrum_product_owner

## About this task

Select the items from your triage board and add them to your backlog based on their
priority for your product. Every item that is added to the backlog from the triage
board has an associated story to it. From the Agile board, you can switch between
the original item Information and Story Information tabs for more details.

These stories can be later assigned to product teams and scheduled into sprints.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAgile DevelopmentAgile Board.
2. From the Backlog section of the Agile board, select your product or team backlog from the Backlog field.
3. Select Triage Board and select the triage board that you want to review the items of.  
   For example, in the screenshot here, Defects board can be selected.

4. Review the list and select the ones that you want to add to the backlog.
5. Select Add to Backlog.

## Result

The selected list of items from the triage board is added to the backlog as stories.
You can schedule these stories into upcoming sprints using the Sprint Planning tab
of the Agile board.

An example here shows how an associated story is created for a defect that is added
to the backlog. The story has a reference to this defect in the Original task field.
