Export backlog to CSV

You can export work items in a backlog priority order so that you can groom work items from the backlog for an upcoming PI. The priority rank from the backlog is exported as well for offline grooming, ranking, and prioritization meetings. The rank is the actual rank based on what you select on the sidebar and not the global rank ID.

Export applies to the following backlog levels: themes, epics, capabilities, features, stories, and defects. The exported file is saved in the CSV format. It cannot be imported back into the application.

As an example, this topic describes the procedure of exporting features from the backlog page:

1. Select Programs in the top navigation bar and select the program you want to view features for.
2. On the sidebar, select Backlog in the list of options; the backlog page displays.

To export features from the backlog:

1. From the Viewing drop-down menu on the toolbar (top-left of the page), select Feature Backlog.
2. Select Export next to the PI for which you want to export features. The export option is available for each PI bucket.
3. Select the location for the document, and then select Save.
