Adding a Rally backlog to Stormboard

Query your backlog from inside Stormboard turning your Rally work items into live-synced sticky notes

A Rally backlog is one of many section types that can be selected for your template. It queries your Rally instance for work items from a selected Rally project, embedding them into a Storm.

Select backlog enabled templates from our Template Library under the PI Planning Category or create your own starting from a Standard Section type.
