Product Backlog
An ordered list of work a team might take on, kept ready for planning.
In short
A product backlog is an ordered list of everything a team might work on, including features, fixes, and improvements. It is kept refined and prioritized so the most valuable items sit near the top, ready to be pulled into upcoming work. The backlog evolves continuously as priorities and understanding change.
A product backlog holds the candidate work for a product in priority order. Items near the top are well understood and ready to build, while items lower down stay rougher until they rise in priority.
A healthy backlog is groomed often, not left to grow stale. Connecting backlog items to their source keeps the team honest about why each one is there. Kithspark links backlog entries to the feedback and weighted demand that justify them.
Example
A team keeps its top ten backlog items refined and estimated, while older ideas sit below until they earn attention.
