Project Methodology
What is Backlog?
An ordered list of work items, such as requirements, gaps, and user stories, maintained by the product owner.
In SAP projects the backlog comes from fit-to-standard and includes configuration, WRICEF, and test tasks. Items are prioritized by business value and risk. Tools include Cloud ALM, Jira, and Azure DevOps.
