Team Backlog

A list of all possible work items for the team.

Who owns the Team Backlog?

The Agile Team creates it; the Product Owner prioritizes and owns it.

Team Backlog: Opportunities, not...

The Team Backlog represents possibilities, rather than firm promises.

Study Notes

  • The team backlog organizes the team's work.
  • A piece of work might get done if it is in the backlog.
  • Estimates may be assigned to work sizes but don't imply committed delivery.
  • The Agile Team creates The Team Backlog.
  • The Product Owner owns and prioritizes the backlog.
  • Backlogs represent opportunities, not commitments.

Foundation for Incremental Development

  • Implementing stories in vertical slices is key to incremental development.
  • This enables a short feedback cycle.
  • It allows refinement of understanding of functionality.
  • It facilitates more frequent integration of working systems. -Vertical slices: -Slice 1: Initial story functionality -Slice 2: Further functionality within the scope of the story -Slice 3: Remaining story functionality

Agile for Team: Scrum

  • The team backlog comes from PI planning and local team context.
  • Iterations are typically two weeks.

Iteration Basics

  • Iterations definition: -Iterations are a single development cycle where each Agile Team defines, builds, integrates, and tests the stories from their Iteration Backlog
  • Iteration duration: -Each iteration is the same length, running back-to-back and SAFe advises two-week iterations
  • Iteration Goal: -To deliver new value to the customer at the end of each iteration
  • Avoid adding scope once the iteration has begun.
  • Plan, Do, Check, Adjust (PDCA) -Iteration Planning ->Iteration Execution ->Iteration Review ->Iteration Retrospective
