Name
How to Spark Joy in Your Backlog (Kathy Antol)
Description

Come and learn how to tidy your product backlog like the ultimate organization queen, Marie Kondo!

When a backlog is disorganized, it can be overwhelming and stressful for the product owner and the team. In this session we will dive into Marie Kondo's KonMari method, a system for decluttering and organizing your home, and apply it to product backlogs.

The key to using her method is to focus on the items that "spark joy" and provide business value for your stakeholders, and to let go of anything that does not serve those goals. This can help you create a more targeted and effective backlog that is better able to support your team and drive the success of your product.

As Marie Kondo says, "People cannot change their habits without first changing their way of thinking. Join this interactive workshop to learn how to apply her KonMari methods to spark joy in your backlog and understand the "life-changing magic of tidying up". You may even be inspired to clean out the garage!

  • Identify an unhealthy product backlog
