A prioritized list of tasks, features, or bug fixes that need to be addressed in a project.
A backlog is like a to-do list that guides a team on what needs to be done next.
A product team might have a backlog of new features to develop, ordered by importance and user demand.
A well-managed backlog ensures that the team focuses on the most valuable tasks, improving productivity and alignment with business goals.
Effective backlog management can lead to better prioritization, faster delivery of features, and improved product quality.
Regularly refine and prioritize the backlog; involve stakeholders in prioritization; keep the backlog manageable and focused.
Allowing the backlog to become too large or unfocused; not prioritizing tasks effectively; failing to update the backlog regularly.
Backlog size, task completion rate, lead time for task completion.
