Your product backlog is unique to your team, especially the process of managing it. It’s up to the owner to decide what goes on it, how it is organized, and who should administer it. Check out our feature on one software that can solve many backlog issues for product owners. 

What is a product backlog?

A product backlog is a collection of drafted stories enhancing or describing a team’s features that they may work on to better a product for a customer. 

The characteristics of these potential features are:
 

• Negotiable
• Estimable
• Able to be tested
• Variables
• Potential for growth
   

The key difference between a product backlog and a concrete design is that larger organizations may dedicate a team to thoroughly think out a task in a much larger plan to be implemented. To have that idea eventually add value; however, these tasks are part of a long process with semi-guaranteed small rewards.

With a backlog of multiple potential product growth options, your business could be taking a risk but with a larger reward. Some ideas will prosper and some will surely stay back in the log.

Companies do not always need to rely on detailed, up-front plans. 

A prosperous team is open to the idea of risk-seeking opportunities and willing to fail to succeed beyond traditional terms.  

Quire

Quire is a management software, perfect for agile teams. This software allows product owners to add deep stories to list potential changes and features. This allows the teams to review and groom the ideas before starting on them. 

Quire also supports tagging and filtering so your ideas can be labeled in various steps. Such as in progress, incomplete needs work or even risk factors. 

You can list the variable ideas and have a full description/story explaining the needs and use for the feature. Continue to list the risks and responsibilities of the feature as well as team opinions. 

This is like a diary for your products. The system explains how it is doing, what it needs to improve, and how it can better itself through adding characteristics. 

Be a little risky with your business and see where it takes you!
