Can't find Backlog page anywhere in Jira version 7

I am attempting to follow these Jira instructions to create a Sprint: https://www.atlassian.com/agile/tutorials/sprints.

The first step is to go to the Backlog page. However, even as an administrator, I cannot find the Backlog page. I have looked absolutely everywhere. Is there any non-default configuration that I need to set up in order to view the Backlog page?

In my understanding of this screenshot, all of Jira Agile is enabled (note that "Loading Screenshots" never actually loads: enter image description here

Or, more generally than that, is there a different way to create a Sprint?

Solution

  • It is not possible in Jira version 7 to create a Sprint from a Kanban Board, which is the board my organization is using.

    Instead, I need to first create an Agile Board using these instructions. Then I can successfully follow the instructions to create a Sprint.
