This Week's Focus: Building a Product Backlog

The Product Backlog is a dynamic list of everything that might be needed in the product, prioritized by value to the customer.

It is continually updated and refined, ensuring that your team always works on the most valuable features first.

What You’ll Learn:

What Goes into a Product Backlog: Understand the elements that make up a robust Product Backlog. Prioritization Techniques: Learn how to effectively prioritize backlog items to ensure strategic alignment and maximum value delivery. Backlog Refinement: Discover the ongoing process of refining the backlog, which ensures clarity and readiness for upcoming sprints.

A well-maintained Product Backlog is crucial for the success of any Scrum project, as it directly impacts the efficiency and outcome of future Sprints.
