Backlog

Technical Engineering Buzzword Tech

The prioritized list of future work. In theory, groomed and ordered. In practice, a hope archive where old tickets go to age like wine nobody will drink.

Heard in the wild

“It's in the backlog — which you may read as 'never' with 70% confidence.”

Tone check: Technical

Backlog position is honest information. Below the fold of the first screen means not this year.
