You are coordinating a project involving multiple teams. What do you do
when your vision slips out of your hands and becomes simply too big to
manage? You cut it down to size, that’s what.
Working within a Scrum framework requires a new way of thinking. Your project, for
example, isn’t one thing: it’s a whole host of work items that, once complete, make up
your product vision. It isn’t easy to break that gargantuan concept into tasks that your
team can do in quick iterations, but that’s the goal with Scrum, and using a Product
Backlog makes the process that much simpler.
What’s a Product Backlog? Think of it as your To Do list for the project at hand.
However, instead of tasks, you have user stories: vertical “slices” of completed work out
of the “cake” that is your product. Your Product Backlog will have all of the features,
functions, technologies, enhancements, and bug-fixes that together constitute your
product vision.
COURSE TOPICS:
1 Establishing capabilities for refining the Product Backlog iteratively
2 Discussing and updating the product vision and product roadmap
3 Establishing and refining the “Definition of Done” for user stories
5 Defining and enhancing acceptance criteria for each user story
6 Performing user story review and estimation
7 Prioritizing the Product Backlog
8 Discussing the most effective practices for Backlog prioritization
9 Presenting the Product Backlog to the whole team

Workshop Duration
The duration of the Product Backlog and Estimation workshop depends largely on your goals.
» The 1-Day workshop is recommended for new projects, where the goal is an initial backlog from which the team can pull work for several sprints.
» A multi-day workshop is recommended when an existing backlog is being prepared for release planning or when multiple sources are being combined into a single Product Backlog.
