What is a Product Backlog?
A Product Backlog is a prioritized list of features, tasks, and requirements that need to be completed for a product, especially within Agile development frameworks. The backlog serves as the primary input for sprint planning, helping teams focus on delivering the most valuable features first.
Unlike traditional to-do lists, a product backlog is dynamic and continuously updated as new information emerges. Items in the backlog are ordered by priority, with the most important tasks at the top. This ensures that the development team is always working on the highest-value items, keeping the product aligned with business goals and user needs.
