Product Backlog & PBR

?? Agile in a Minute: Product Backlog & PBR Explained

The Product Backlog is your ultimate to-do list for product development. It includes everything from epics, user stories, tasks/subtasks, enhancements, spikes and bugs/defects to technical tasks and non-functional requirements, all prioritized by the Product Owner to maximize value.

Enter PBR (Product Backlog Refinement)—the secret sauce to keeping the backlog actionable. This ongoing activity ensures that items are clear, prioritized, and small enough for the team to tackle.

?? Key Points:

  • Break down big tasks (Epics ?? Stories).
  • Add clear acceptance criteria.
  • Estimate effort (Story Points, anyone?).
  • Ensure readiness for the next sprint.

?? Devote 5-10% of your sprint time to PBR for smoother planning and aligned teams.
