| Context | A Product Backlog has been established and is ready to be filled with (more) Product Backlog Items. |
| Problem | How to optimize work towards a goal? Optimizing work mostly relates to increasing value like ROI (return on invest) for one or more stakeholders. In many cases a balance between conflicting interests of these stakeholders needs to be achieved. |
| Forces | too little/too much focus on work for one stakeholder while neglecting other requirements |
| Solution | Create Product Backlog Items (PBIs) to represent product increments that have value to relevant stakeholders. PBIs are described as user stories with acceptance criteria in most cases, use cases are also a common format. These items can be aggregated as themes and themes can be aggregated as epics to set up a long-term plan without the need of detailing each item upfront. Remember, PBIs can describe anything which creates value for stakeholders. |
| Resulting Context | New Product Backlog Items have been added to the Product Backlog. |
