The Team Backlog
The Team Backlog is an ordered list of all the possible work that an Agile Team can undertake to enhance or deliver the solution. It comprises User Stories, Enabler Stories, Improvement Stories, and all other work items. Unlike the Iteration Backlog, the Team Backlog represents a list of wants, allowing for flexibility and ownership by the team in determining the order and timelines for delivery. Although the PO is primarily responsible for the Team Backlog, any team member can contribute an item, help refine it, and prioritize it.
Three primary inputs contribute to the Team Backlog: the ART Backlog, team contributions, and requests from Stakeholders as depicted in Figure 4.1.
