## Unscheduled tasks [new view] 

The Backlog panel holds unscheduled tasks, which are:

- Tasks without start and end dates defined
- Tasks with one date (start or end date defined)
- Tasks that are not assigned to any individual, team, or skill

Having those tasks available in the Backlog panel lets you easily assign them by moving a task from the backlog to swimlanes.

## View Backlog panel

To see unscheduled tasks, open the sidebar on the right.

## Available columns

The following columns are available in the Backlog panel:

- Key
- Summary
- Start Date
- End Date
- Assignee
- Team
- Skills
- Original Estimate
