In this session, you’ll learn how to turn everyday backlog items into purposeful steps toward your product vision. Too often, teams sprint forward without asking why they’re building something—results fragment, focus fades, and work becomes just “tickets.” This module helps you stop that drift.

You will learn to:

• Identify and unpack the disconnect problem when planning loses sight of strategic intent.

• Use Product Goals as intermediate milestones—your "base camps" on the vision mountain.

• Execute a traceability check during backlog refinement: “How does this story support our current Product Goal?”

• Lead a rapid 24-hour alignment drill that uncovers misaligned work, fast and non-threatening.

• Foster team alignment and ownership, empowering the squad to challenge low-value items thoughtfully.

By the end, you’ll be able to coach real teams to transform backlogs from chaotic checklists into focused, value-driven roadmaps rooted in purpose.

In this lecture, we delve into the creation and timing of the Product Backlog in Scrum.

The Product Backlog is a crucial element in the Scrum framework, representing a prioritized list of features and tasks that need to be completed to fulfill the project's goals. But who is responsible for creating it, and when does it typically occur in the development cycle?

Join us as we explore these questions and provide insights into the Product Backlog creation process. Whether you're new to Scrum or looking to deepen your understanding, this video has something for you.
