In an Agile environment, maintaining an ever-changing backlog of requirements can be intimidating, exhausting, and overwhelming. Without sustainable activities to cultivate the backlog, the Agile team can struggle to deliver value to its customers.
In this session, we will:
- Talk about changes that happen to the backlog and why those changes are important
- Identify common stages in the maturity of backlog items
- Discuss why “when” the team does various backlog preparation activities is very important
- Walk through three steps you can use to define a backlog maturity model in your environment
-
- Determine your goal state
- Identify questions for your backlog items
- Name and define maturity states
- Propose techniques to make your stages of maturity visible
Come discover how to create an adaptable model to handle constant backlog change and provide valuable information at the right time for your team and stakeholders.
