The Backlog.
A re-shaped, prioritised, ready-to-work backlog, with Definition of Ready and Done, and a sprint cadence the team can trust.
The Backlog is a fixed-scope Set Piece: a re-shaped, prioritised, ready-to-work backlog with Definitions of Ready and Done and a sprint cadence. Delivered in 1–2 weeks from £7,500 (PO + PM).
What it is.
A backlog nobody trusts is just a list of regrets. We turn yours into three honest layers: Discovery, Refined and Ready. The team always knows what's safe to start and what still needs work.
It comes with the two short lists that prevent half the arguments in product: a Definition of Ready that says you can start this, and a Definition of Done that says you can ship it.
Who it's for.
- Teams whose backlog has become a dumping ground.
- Squads that argue about scope in every standup.
- New PMs or POs inheriting a tangle they need to tame.
What you get.
- A re-shaped, prioritised backlog in three layers.
- A Definition of Ready and a Definition of Done.
- Clear, verifiable acceptance criteria on the top items.
- A proposed grooming and sprint cadence.
How it works.
It starts with a free discovery call. We confirm the fit, agree the scope and the fixed price, and book the dates. No drawn-out scoping forms, no surprise invoices. You know exactly what you're buying before you commit. The team stops arguing about what's next and starts shipping it.
