Amy Lightholder, Agile Coach, On Prioritization

Effective product teams not only understand which set of features must be present to justify a release, they have taken the time to carefully enumerate the ranking of each. A product backlog is a prioritized list of all the features and functionality needed to complete a project. A good product backlog is at the heart of any well-functioning agile team. A good product backlog does not automatically ensure good software. However, the lack of a good product backlog often results in incomplete software that does not meet the requirements of customers and stakeholders. The most effective product teams can demonstrate how their prioritization supports larger business priorities (and when the business priorities aren’t clear, these teams clarify them!).   Amy is speakering at ProductCampSF http://pcampsf.com   Learn about managing products to success at Product Bootcamp San Francisco Oct 10-12! http://bit.ly/14ZagOP Oct 10: Workshop Day: competitive space & Lean startup way. http://bit.ly/14SMcaC Oct 11 Startup Product Summit SF2 lightning talks w/experts & practitioners.http://bit.ly/1bvsOFm Oct 12 ProductCamp San Francisco! true community unconference http://pcampsf.com http://startupproduct.com
