  • Product Backlog
    • Description
    Main DescriptionIt's either a functional or technical requirement, an enhancement request, a bug or anything else which implementation brings up value to the Product Owner. 

    Its general attributes are:

    • estimated value, most oftenly calculated relatively to other items through priorities,
    • estimated development cost,
    • eventually the theme (functional domain) it belongs to,
    • eventually its type (defined by the project, user story, for instance, bug, non-funcitonal requirement),

    If the user story technique is used, as well as test-driven development, test acceptance criterias are associated.

    A PBI goes through the following states:

    • created
    • estimated
    • planned (associated to a future sprint)
    • associated to current sprint (implementation is ongoing)
    • done

    Key Considerations
    Scrum principle is to complete a PBI within a sprint.
