THE CASE AGAINST OVER-MANAGING YOUR PRODUCT BACKLOG

TUESDAY OCTOBER 31, 2023 11:00 AM EDT  (15:00 UTC)

The practice of Product Backlog Management in Scrum serves as a cornerstone for
effective product management. However, this often leads Scrum Teams to invest
excessive time and effort in overanalyzing Product Goals and refining every
Product Backlog item as they try to explore the finest details. This is usually
an attempt to reduce risk or a result of unclear vision and strategy.

While a meticulously constructed Product Backlog may seem like a Product Owner
is providing transparency to a well-defined roadmap, it often leads to
unintended consequences. In this Scrum Pulse webcast, Ryan Ripley, Todd Miller,
and Patricia Kong will discuss how focusing too much on Product Backlog
Management and refinement can actually impede a Scrum Team's ability to be agile
and creative. Developing skills to effectively manage a Product Backlog requires
a balance of flexibility, clarity, and minimalism. They will discuss how teams
can leverage Evidence-Based Management (EBM) in their goal pursuit rather than
seeking to define everything explicitly in the Product Backlog.
