Themes are a handy way to organize and categorize your product backlog. Rather then use folders, ScrumWorks lets you "tag" backlog items with themes. Themes then act like keywords, grouping all items together that have been tagged with a given theme. And unlike a folder system, you can add as many themes to a backlog item as you wish.

• Highlight themes in the backlog for easy identification
