A good practice for maintaining an effective Product Backlog is to limit it to items that can be developed over a known period. This approach helps in keeping the backlog manageable and focused on delivering immediate Value. Ideas and other unlikely work can be stored separately, ensuring that the backlog remains concise and relevant.
Regularly refining and prioritising the Product Backlog is also crucial. This involves continuous collaboration between the Product Owner, Scrum Team, and stakeholders to ensure that the backlog accurately reflects the most current needs and priorities, thus maximising the product’s Value.
