Improving the Quality and Productivity of Backlogs
Through Envisioning: Collaborative Agile Product Analysis,
Architecture and Design

Good backlogs are essential to the flow of work through agile teams.
Hence they have a clear impact on productivity and quality. While
simple in principle, we find that backlogs are often of highly
variable quality. Lumpy backlogs stress the team resulting in poor
estimates, more rework and poorer quality. Bloated and lumpy backlogs
place excessive demands on product owners and business analysts making
it hard for them to keep up with the development teams. In large
organizations, there is often a tendency to use independent backlogs
to manage maximize portfolios of features while paying lip service to
any dependencies and common architecture. This situation becomes even
more problematic when product owners, business analysts, developers,
and testers are remotely distributed from each other.
