Building a Healthy Backlog

We're kicking off a new format to the meetup, combining a brief presentation with community discussion. (We'll still serve beer and pizza. We're not going crazy or anything.)

This month's topic will be "Building a Healthy Backlog". Think stories, epics, features, roadmaps, definition of ready, acceptance criteria and more. What are your tips, tricks and questions for how to manage a backlog? Come, discuss, share and learn.

We are lucky to have Barb Vandenberg as the guest speaker to kick off our discussion. Barb has extensive experience as a Product Owner and Product Manager at nvisia. You may remember her from her Milwaukee Agile talk, "Build the Right Product! Scrum Team Dependency on Roles outside of their Team".

Looking forward to seeing everyone!
