title: VSTS backlog items - adding tasks without a project and cross project views
body: <p>Still new to VSTS. Sometimes work or requests come in and our team needs a way of sorting these into areas that will become projects, but not immediately.  Can I create a task without first creating a new team project? </p>
  
  <p>Also, is there a way to see different projects at a higher level than the tasks in one view on a kanban board?  Ive seen some delp docs on dashboards etc, but everything including tasks are all scoped to a team project.  While this makes sense to have these things for a project, but what about higher level views?  At any one time, there might be 4-5 different projects being worked on as well as 2-3 different things that are not part of a project yet.  Maybe VSTS isnt the place for these more general items, but a generic kanban board?</p>
