Scrum backlog templates and examples

November 6, 2006 by Artem

Bas Vodde collected and published examples and templates of the Scrum product and Sprint backlogs. Most of them are in MS Excel format. Some (XLS) include a lot of comments, some (XLS) are very colourful. Check them out, Excel can really cover most of the needs of the archived backlog tracking.

Thanks for the examples

A good idea. Though not sure if I am able to understand these templates - I personally use different excels. Maybe I will find time to dig through these examples and create some screencast on using them. Or maybe somebody else could do it :)

Spreadsheet column acronyms: what do they mean?

In the Product Backlog (c_backlog.xls) there are a few columns whose titles are specified by acronyms such as MR, Pri, 50%, 90% and (90%-50%)^2.

Does anybody know the acronyms’ meanings? What are they supposed to tell you?

Thanks you so much in advance

Oups, it looks like file was missing on the server for some strange reason.
Anyway, I uploaded it again and you can download the template from the "ph_product_sprint_backlog_0.03.xls" link in the post.

Thank you for noticing the problem, tsj123.
