Why you need the product backlog template
Store every idea
A product backlog template serves as a secure space for all product ideas from customers, the product team, and teams across your organization. Anyone working on your products can simply access the backlog to see suggestions, what is currently being worked on, and what tasks are upcoming.
Prioritize tasks
Your product development team has to manage a large backlog of ideas and translate them into actionable tasks. As these can’t all be completed at once, you need to decide which tasks take priority. Use color coding and scheduling in your Scrum backlog template to assign precise dates for each task so you and your team know where to focus.
Review performance
While the primary purpose of your backlog template is to store and categorize ideas and tasks, it also works as a fantastic platform for reviewing team and product performance. You can assess whether developers are working towards goals and implementing feedback to ensure each product is reaching optimal potential.
