How do you prioritize items in the backlog? by Growing Scrum Masters published on 2023-01-31T08:08:25Z In #scrum, the team make use of a #backlog to list and prioritize the work that needs doing for the future. In some cases, these are small work items that can be completed in a matter of hours, in other cases they are big chunks of work, known as #epics, that need to be refined through a process known as #backlogrefinement. So, how do you prioritize the items in the backlog and who should be present for this to be effective? In this short video, John McFadyen explains how you could approach the prioritization of items in the #backlog, and how you can do so in a manner that allows you to defend your decisions to customers and stakeholders.
