View board through swimlane
A swimlane is a filtered list of information that categorizes work items according to specific criteria. This provides a dynamic perspective to the data your sprint team tracks. It helps you view progress based on different attributes of the work items.
There are different types of swimlanes:
Priority swimlane: The priority swimlane displays work items by priority. Click each priority level to view the total number of work items in it. This information is useful in deciding where to allocate resources to complete work items.
Estimation points swimlane: The estimation points swimlane lists the points that you assigned to the work items while creating your project. Select a point values to view the number of work items assigned to it. You can easily track the items with the highest number of estimation points and monitor their progress on your board.
Story swimlane: The story swimlane displays the stories in your sprint. Click a story to view the tasks and bugs in it. Use the swimlane to view the total number of stories. Check the status of the stories on the board to track their progress.
