Multi-dimensional Backlog

Purpose: To engage stakeholders in the backlog by making it more comprehensible and providing them with a business perspective that they recognise.


This shows the backlog with Ā the 'Business dimension' (Components or Labels) along the top and the Time dimension (Versions ) down the left hand side.Ā 

Stakeholders can see where the effort went during October and just how many issues were completed for the Membership Launch, in the row above. Ā
