How do I manage Work Types?
This article explains how to add and manage work types. By default, the work types include Tasks, Risks, Issues, Backlogs, Schedules, and Key Decisions. The work types are configurable to align to your business needs. When looking at the Work Plan pages, views are saved for that specific work type. The additional work type items show in Timesheets & My Work.
Go to the Admin pages, select Work Plan in the navigation.
When the Backlog List App is added to your OnePlan group, a new work type called Backlog gets created automatically. The fields and views are also added.
