Backlog Prioritization Rituals

Keep backlogs intentional

Prioritizing backlogs involves scheduled grooming with stakeholders, using scoring like RICE/ICE/value vs effort, grouping by goals, and keeping owners/next steps clear to prevent drift.

Cadence

Hold regular backlog reviews with the right stakeholders.

Score

Use consistent scoring (RICE/ICE) and tie to goals.

Decide

Set owners and next steps; trim or archive low-value items.
