Product Backlog

A prioritized list of features, improvements, and fixes to be worked on.

What is Product Backlog?

The product backlog is where ideas wait their turn. Effective backlog management means regularly reviewing, prioritizing, and grooming items. An overgrown backlog becomes a graveyard of ideas nobody will ever build.
