Description

A backlog, by definition, contains a list of things that Must Be Done, usually with some time factor. When companies talk about an order backlog, they are talking about orders that are going to be filled, and must be filled as soon as the inventory is available. A product backlog does not contain items that Must Be Done. And that is the primary reason the Product Backlog is not a backlog. Just as a Sprint is not a Sprint, and a daily scrum is not really a scrum. This webinar is not a discussion of agile lexicon but a revisit to the concept and practice of the product backlog which, once employed, likely will make the life of the business analyst (not to mention the product owner) a lot easier. We will look at various concepts of product backlogs in use in agile today and what the business analyst’s relationship with each is.
