Product Backlog Workshop
Workshop: Product Backlog
The Product Backlog workshop helps address issues related to Product Backlog and Sprint Backlog management.
Example scenarios where the Product Backlog workshop helps the team move forward:
- The Product Backlog is not current – the information within it is not continuously updated and does not reflect reality.
- The Product Backlog has become an unmanageably large entity, whose scope and content no one can grasp anymore.
- The items in the Product Backlog are very extensive and last for many weeks and months. The work needs to be broken down, but it is unclear how.
- The top of the Product Backlog is not sufficiently refined – during the planning meeting, it becomes clear that tasks cannot yet be taken into development because there are too many unresolved issues.
- The Product Backlog lacks a clear and logical structure that would help in navigation and in creating forecasts for work completion.
In the workshop, we identify the root cause of the problem, and the team develops a concrete solution plan. If necessary, we practice various Backlog decomposition methods.
This is a practical workshop designed to solve a specific problem. If you are interested in agility more generally, please refer to the Agility Basic Training.
Product Backlog prioritization and estimation topics are covered in the Product Owner Role Training, the Scrum Master Role Training, and the Agile Planning workshop.

"The training left a very good impression. The trainer allowed a lot of discussion, and it was more of a practical training, with theory playing a supporting role. It was especially good to hear about the concerns and joys of colleagues regarding their own teams."
"Very compact and clear presentation – it revealed the essence of agility and prompted us to reflect on our work and how we do it. Thank you!"
"Conveyed very clearly, systematically, and sufficiently simply and understandably."
"On a scale of 10, I give it 10 points! I usually don't like group work at all, but the ones in this training were very engaging and useful. What was learned could be immediately applied to real projects."
"It was evident that the lecturer is strong in both theory and practice, and it was interesting to listen to them."
"Very interesting training – the pace was fast, the material specific and expert. I really liked the visual materials and references, which could be explored independently after the training. Also, that you respected the schedule :)"
"Very useful. I liked that you allowed time for team discussions and didn't rush us. Many group exercises helped clarify concepts, content, and practical applicability. 10 points!"
"Interesting topic, well-structured lecture, lecturer very professional in their field, good practical examples, easily explained"
"It's good to listen to a practitioner. I have always liked such training courses and find them very useful."
