Backlog Map

Use this chart to...

  • Engage stakeholders in the backlog by making it more comprehensible and providing them with a business perspective that they recognise.
  • Identify work that is in the 'wrong place'.
  • Review where effort has been spent and where the future focus will be.

What the chart shows...

  • This shows the backlog with the 'Business dimension' (Components or Labels) along the top and the Time dimension (Versions ) down the left hand side. 
  • Stakeholders can see where the effort went during October and just how many issues were completed for the Membership Launch, in the row above.
