Enable agile features in next-gen projects
Are you on the right help page?
The following information only applies to next-gen projects.
To check which type project you need help with, look at the bottom of your project’s left-hand sidebar:
If you see an icon stating You’re in a next-gen project with Give feedback and Learn more menu items, you're in a next-gen project.
If you don't, you're in a classic project. Check out our classic project documentation.
Next-gen projects and boards allow you to switch on any features you need, and ignore the ones you don't. We recommend only enabling the features your team needs and disabling everything else. This way, your project doesn't get cluttered and your team can focus on the things that matter.
To enable agile features:
If not already there, navigate to your next-gen project.
In your project sidebar, select Project settings > Features.
Use the toggles to enable and disable features for your project.
