The Agile Product Backlog
A 59 Seconds Agile Article
This article provides an ‘Introduction to the The Agile Product Backlog‘ and looks to discuss what the backlog is and what role it plays within Agile projects.
Conclusion
In summary, the Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that is known to be needed in the product. It is the single source of requirements for any changes to be made to the product. The Product Owner is responsible for the Product Backlog, including its content, availability, and ordering.
The Product Backlog is dynamic; it constantly changes to identify what the product needs to be competitive, and useful. A product backlog that is composed of user stories will not make your project agile, and the lack of them will make it challenging to become agile. However, user stories encourage a number of Agile principles and values:
One, welcome changing requirements, even late in development.
The Agile values and principles promote change for the customer’s competitive advantage.
Two, business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
Three, the most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face communication.
Four, working software is the primary measure of progress.

User Stories Applied
A 59 Seconds Agile Book Review
User Stories Applied by Mike Cohn is one of our favourite books on Agile User Stories. The book starts with an overview into user stories, and details what a user story is and the different aspects of them. He then discusses how to go about writing a user story, and provides details of the INVEST criteria that can be used to determine if the story is meeting all of its objectives. Next Mike gives an in depth discussion of who user stories are written for and where to begin when gathering the details for them. The book then discusses acceptance testing user stories, including how to go about specifying these criteria and the responsibilities of the development team and customers during this process.
