Step 1. Import Backlog

Add Issues to your prioritization Board to evaluate and rank them. Issues are the work items you need to prioritize—tasks, features, bugs, or initiatives.

Import methods

Add Issues using one of these methods:

• Import from task tracker – Connect Jira, Linear, Asana, GitHub, or other trackers to import existing Issues
• Create manually – Add Issues directly in Ducalis
• Import CSV file – Upload a spreadsheet with Issues from any source

Sample Issues included

New Boards include sample Issues that demonstrate how prioritization works. Review them to understand the workflow before adding your own.

Import from task tracker

Connect your task tracker to import Issues automatically. Ducalis integrates with:

• Jira Cloud
• Asana
• Linear
• GitHub
• ClickUp
• Trello
• YouTrack
• Jira Server

1. Connect your task tracker to Ducalis.
2. Import Issues to your Board.

See Import Issues from task tracker for step-by-step instructions.

Create manually

Create Issues directly in Ducalis when you don't have Issues in a task tracker.

1. Click + New issue in the Issues table.

   Or click Add issue in the top right corner.

2. Enter Issue details (title, description, priority).

See Create Issues manually for detailed instructions.

Import CSV file

Import Issues from a CSV file when your task tracker doesn't integrate with Ducalis.

1. Prepare a CSV file with your Issues.
2. Import the CSV file to Ducalis.

See Import Issues from CSV for file format requirements and import steps.
