Product Backlog

The Product Backlog is a prioritized list of features, user stories, and tasks that outline the work that needs to be done. The Product Backlog is typically managed by the Product Owner (or the business analyst, but the approval on user stories is done by the product owner).

The Product Owner works closely with stakeholders, customers, and the development team to gather, refine, and prioritize items on the backlog.

What Is Product Backlog Grooming?

Product Backlog Grooming, also known as Backlog Refinement or Backlog Management, is a recurring practice in Agile methodologies, particularly in Scrum, where the product development team reviews and updates items in the product backlog to ensure they are well-defined, prioritized, and ready for inclusion in upcoming sprints. The primary goal of backlog grooming is to maintain a well-prepared and organized backlog that supports efficient sprint planning and execution.
