Configuring a backlog and rank for existing epics

Updated on July 27, 2021

In Pega Agile Studio, epics belong to specific backlogs and can be ranked within the backlog. After an update, you must use the activity, PegaProjMgmt-Work.AssociateBLToEpic, to configure a backlog value on all non-resolved epics without backlogs in the system.

Pega Agile Studio Update Guide

To configure a backlog for existing epics, complete the following steps:

  1. Log on as an operator with access to Dev Studio.
  2. Open activity PegaProjMgmt-Work.AssociateBLToEpic.
  3. Click ActionsRun.
  4. On the execution modal, leave the default values unchanged, and then click Run.
    Verify the following steps:
    • On completion, the Operation completed screen is displayed if all existing epics are successfully associated with a backlog.
    • In cases where not all epics have been associated with a backlog successfully, a message in the format shown below will appear. In such cases, the system log will indicate which epics were not successfully initialized. These can be manually updated as needed.
    • For any epic for which a backlog could not be set, a message is displayed as shown when the epic is opened, and the user will need to set the backlog manually when it is next edited.
    • The report Epics Without Backlog, available in the Product Planning report category in the report browser, can be used to identify any epics that need a backlog assigned.
