Collecting Content for the Product Backlog
The product backlog consists of requirements that come from conversing with the stakeholders. Some ways that can be used to collect such content could be the following:
1. Workshops – Meetings and sessions where the team empathizes with a group of customers and users by having them present problem areas and solutions to each other. This can be done by writing them down on post-its, grouping them together, and later on processing next steps.
2. Interviews – Up close conversations with individuals that have more personal statements, which can lead to useful and unique insights for the product.
3. Questionnaires – Surveys that are accessible to various users and customers and can be answered at their own convenience. Results can be more quantitative in nature since trends and patterns can be found based on the answers.
Collecting Content for the Product Backlog
Analyzing results from workshops, interviews, and questionnaires will help the team come up with personas who represent user groups for the product. Designing the product around personas helps ensure that the developed product is valuable by addressing the problems and preferences raised by users.
