The Product Backlog lists the items that define the product:<\/p>\n
In an agile framework, we recommend writing items in the form of User Stories<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Product Backlog items are ranked according to their Business<\/strong> priority. Estimation comes later, when selecting items to include in a given sprint. <\/p>\n The Product Owner holds several meetings to create the Product Backlog. Methods used include:<\/p>\n Each meeting with users should have a specific objective, agreed upon when scheduling the meetings. If necessary, the Product Owner can be assisted by the Quality Analyst and\/or the Business Analyst. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n It is possible to organize a meeting halfway through Sprint 0 to present the first progress.<\/p>\n In general, during Sprint 0, we identify the Minimum Viable Product (MVP)<\/strong> , which consists of defining the product with the minimum number of features necessary to satisfy the user and obtain initial feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n The Product Backlog can be created in Excel table, with for each item of the Product Backlog, at least:<\/p>\n Other columns can be added in ad hoc mode, as you go along, such as an iterative distribution column, a status column (“New”, “Ready”, “In Progress”, “Done”)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/pmchampions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/BacklogPrioritized.png” alt=”Prioritized Backlog” title_text=”BacklogPrioritized” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”85%” width_tablet=”85%” width_phone=”85%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” module_alignment=”center” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.atlassian.com\/software\/jira” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Jira Starting Guide (to come)” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”fee02489-cb44-4d68-a726-05506d10cbf1″ button_text_color=”#0C71C3″ button_bg_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” button_border_width=”1px” button_border_color=”#0C71C3″ button_font=”|700|||||||” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-8cdb4e16-0e89-4c38-b30b-9fe41127e3f5%22:%91%22button_bg_color%22%93}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Early items in the Product Backlog<\/strong> are more detailed, allowing for a more accurate estimate, while later items are less detailed.<\/p>\n The elements of the next Sprint are refined to be achievable in one Sprint and are ready for planning.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/pmchampions.com\/fr\/comment-affiner-le-product-backlog\/” button_text=”Article About Backlog Grooming (to come)” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”940cac81-1de1-4297-a1e2-3f6f53317ba6″ button_text_color=”#0C71C3″ button_bg_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” button_border_width=”1px” button_font=”|700|||||||” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-af6245ea-df40-48a8-9687-67293107dc0c%22:%91%22button_text_color%22%93}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Updating the Backlog is a crucial part of the life of such an artifact, and it’s done by the Product Owner.
