Tactical Backlog View
This view is a daily tool for the sprint team to keep track of the sprint progress.
Sprints can be enabled or altogether disabled from the Circle’s configuration in which case you will not be able to work with them anymore.
Stories with the highest priority have been added to the sprint in the Product Backlog view. The total effort estimate of the stories in the sprint must match the resources available in the sprint period.
Each Team in a circle has its own tactical queues, zero to one set of Sprints (a series of non-overlapping lanes).
The profile pictures of the individuals that a Story or Task has been assigned to will be shown on the card representing that specific Story or Task.
Tasks can be created directly in the lane a Story is in, using the 
icon.
Sprint Lanes
In this view, the team creates tasks for each user story. Sprint lanes run across columns representing the states “To Do”, “Progress” and “Done”. All stories with their tasks start in the “To Do” column. When a task implementation is initiated or finalized, it is moved to the next state column.

Kanban can be enabled or altogether disabled from the Circle’s configuration in which case you will not be able to work with it anymore.
Kanban is a lean methodology that helps manage and improve workflow across human systems. Its approach involves balancing demands with available capacity and improving system-level bottlenecks.
If you create Kanban lanes in the Product Backlog, they will automatically appear as the Kanban Board in the Tactical Backlog. If your team is using both Kanban and Sprints, the lanes will appear below the currently selected Sprint lane. Multiple Kanban lanes may exist if the team offers different classes of services with varying workflows for different service requests.
The cards representing specific Stories or Tasks will display the profile pictures of the individual users or teams assigned to them. This feature enables easy identification of the people or teams responsible for each task.
Tasks can be created directly in the lane a Story is in, using the icon.
Kanban Lanes
In the Kanban lanes view, teams create tasks for each user story. Kanban lanes run across columns representing the states of “To Do”, “Progress”, and “Done”, unless configured to have additional states. All stories with their tasks start in the “To Do” column. When a task’s implementation is initiated or completed, it is moved to the next state column. The “Progress” column and any additional state columns will have sub-states denoted as “DONE” to indicate task completion within that state.
See Kanban lane for more details.
See Connections
The Connections Map is a useful tool available in the Sprint Backlog that provides a quick overview of the relations a specific story or item has. It shows the card centered, with all the other impacted items suspended around it, as seen in the example below:
To view the Connections Map of a particular story or item in the Sprint Backlog, simply right-click on its card, and select the “Connections Map” option from the menu. You can view the details of any card by clicking on it and unfolding the right pane. To close the Connections Map, click anywhere outside the displayed cards.
