Guide to Product Backlog in PMI-ACP Agile Tools Artifacts

The Product Backlog is one of the most essential artifacts in Agile methodologies. It is essentially a prioritized list of value deliverables or user stories, where higher priority items are usually more detailed than lower priority ones.
This list is not static and can be updated based on product requirements, market changes, stakeholder inputs, and feedback from product increments.
Understanding the Product Backlog is crucial because it drives the team’s work and is a crucial communication tool between the product owner and the development team.

How it works:
1. The product backlog is created by the product owner, prioritising the customer's needs.
2. During sprint planning, the team selects items from the product backlog to include in the next sprint based on their priorities.
3. As work progresses, the backlog can be updated and re-prioritized.

Exam Tips: Answering Questions on Product Backlog
- Understand the purpose and characteristics of a product backlog.
- Remember that the product backlog is a dynamic document that is updated and refined throughout the project.
- In the exam, if you see a question about backlog items, they are not discussed in detail until they are brought into a sprint.
- get familiar with the concepts of Product Backlog Refinement/Grooming.

Product Backlog practice test

The Product Backlog is a priority list of user requirements, use cases, and features pertaining to a certain product. Prioritization is based on user value, risk, priority and necessity. The role of the product owner is to keep the product backlog updated and in order. The development team uses the product backlog to pull work for their next cycle. This tool enables transparency on what needs to be done, and the priority enables the team to understand what should be tackled first, hence optimizing the value generated by the team.
