In Product Planning the team composes, estimates, and prioritizes Backlog Items. Feature groups, epics, goals, requests and issues can also be created to assist with managing projects.

Once a product backlog exists, the product owner has the option of organizing these backlog items into one or more releases in Release Planning. Teams can also be set up to divide work among functional groups of team members.

Within a release, backlog items are further organized into sprints. During Sprint Planning the team defines the acceptance tests and identifies all tasks for each backlog item in the sprint.

During the sprint, team members use Sprint Tracking to update progress and close backlog items once they have been accepted by the product owner. Kanban teams will be particularly interested in the Storyboard, which is part of the Sprint Tracking area.

At the end of the sprint, the team uses Review to close the sprint and conducts a retrospective. The process repeats for the next sprint.
