Backlog Item

An individual piece of work listed in the backlog, such as a feature, user story, or task.

Key Points

  • Represents a single deliverable or change that provides value and can be prioritized and estimated.
  • Should be clear, testable, and small enough to finish within a sprint; often includes acceptance criteria.
  • Ordered by the product owner and refined by the team to clarify scope and split when too large.
  • Tracked with size (e.g., story points or time) and marked Done when it meets the Definition of Done.

Example

The team adds a backlog item: "Reset password via email." Acceptance criteria include: link expires in 15 minutes, works for registered emails only, and logs an audit event. The product owner orders it high priority, the team estimates it at 5 story points, and it is completed in the next sprint.
