What is Backlog?
Quick Definition
A prioritized list of all pending work items—features, bugs, improvements—that a team plans to work on in the future.
How it works
The backlog is the single source of truth for what needs to be done. Items at the top are highest priority and most refined. Items at the bottom are rough ideas that may never be built. Regular 'grooming' keeps the backlog organized and priorities current.
Backlog in practice
A product manager maintains a backlog of 50 items. The top 10 are detailed and ready for the next sprint. The bottom 30 are rough ideas. Each week, the team spends 30 minutes refining and re-prioritizing.
