How We Fixed Our Backlog Process
TL;DR: We've overhauled our backlog management to ensure dynamic alignment with business needs and enhance team productivity. This new system empowers stakeholders to manage tasks flexibly, prioritizes urgent fixes without disruption, and maintains continuous workflow through regular task replenishment.
In our process to refine our project management and backlog handling at Doppler, we identified several critical inefficiencies in how tasks were being distributed and prioritized. This realization sparked a comprehensive review of our existing processes, leading us to focus on optimizing for clarity, flexibility, and speed to better align with our business objectives.
By focusing on these goals and steering clear of the anti-goals, we've started to see a more dynamic and responsive project management environment, significantly enhancing our productivity and job satisfaction across teams.
At Doppler, a backlog stakeholder is any individual or team that has a vested interest in the features and improvements we implement in our products. Our stakeholder landscape is designed to be flexible, accommodating the evolving needs of our business and technology.
