Single backlog per team   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #25569 of 42610 |
Mates,

Our teams sometimes have multiple projects. I am wondering what is the
best way and what is the SCRUM way of handling this. My feeling is that
the best way is to have a single backlog per team (even if this means
that in a sprint the team is working on backlog items belonging to
multiple projects). I think the purists will recommend splitting the
team and having multiple backlogs.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated

BR,

Gilad

Hi Gilad, I think your "backlog" means "product backlog", right? Then I against the idea of having a single product backlog per team. First, product owner is...
