* [Project-based delivery](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/q3_IQeIricTROJt1jdQTZg "An example of project-based development and delivery model in Agile Development.")

Agile Development 2.0 provides the flexibility to maintain a unified backlog that can be
used for both release-based or project-based types of delivery. You can maintain all your
backlog in one place and associate the stories to a product,project, or both. You can also
select stories from the backlog and execute them as a project, as a standalone project
development.  
The following example shows how Agile Development 2.0 supports a unified backlog for both project-based and release-based type of deliveries.Figure 1. Agile development work flow use cases
