The Product Backlog is an ordered list of all the things that might be built in the product, arranged by importance.
Why it matters
It ensures the team always works on the most valuable items first.
How it works
The Product Owner continuously updates and orders the backlog based on value and feedback.
Example
A backlog might include features like login, search, and payment, ordered by priority.
