As an agile practitioner who has spent years in the trenches of agile practice leading teams and developing products; I’ve come to realize that a common pitfall for many teams is a backlog that doesn’t truly reflect customer pain points.
It’s a paradigm shift that could revolutionize the way we approach our backlogs and unlock potentials that could transform our industry.

Instead of a feature backlog that’s often a wish list of functionalities we believe will add value, consider a problem backlog. This prioritizes actual customer-identified issues, ensuring that every item addressed is directly solving a known problem, driving outcomes, and ultimately delivering a tangible impact.

It’s time to reassess our backlogs. Are we truly addressing customer pain points, or are we just ticking off items from a list? The real measure of our work isn’t just in our ability to execute but in our capacity to deliver meaningful solutions.

Let’s ask the critical question: Is our work making a difference? Remember, the key question isn’t “Can we do it?” but rather, “Should we do it?” 💡. #ProductManagement #CustomerCentric #BacklogReimagined #BacklogPrioritization #Innovation
