Backlog Overview
The backlog is the primary list of all work items in a project. Every feature, bug, spike, and chore lives here.
Kanban Board
The Kanban board gives you a visual, column-based view of your backlog. Each column represents a status, and cards within a column show the items in that status…
Backlog Filters
Filters let you narrow the backlog to show only items matching certain criteria. All filters are URL-persistent — you can bookmark or share a filtered view.
Backlog Reordering
Item order in the backlog determines priority. PushBackLog supports drag-and-drop reordering to let you arrange items exactly how you want them.
Backlog Item Detail
Each backlog item has a dedicated detail page that shows all structured fields plus collaborative features.

AI Pods
AI Pods are configurable AI agents that can be assigned to execute backlog items autonomously. Each pod has a defined purpose, a set of tools, and a cost/speed…
Execution Runs
An execution run is created each time a backlog item is dispatched to an AI Pod. It tracks the full lifecycle of the AI agent's work — from queueing through pla…
