A backlog is an organized list of tasks, features, enhancements, and bugs that teams plan to work on in future development cycles. Items in the backlog are typically prioritized based on impact, urgency, and business value. In Agile teams, the backlog acts as a living document that evolves as new ideas emerge or priorities shift. It helps ensure that teams stay focused on the most important work while maintaining transparency and structure across the development process.
