Product Backlog Fields

Product backlog field definitions and usage guidelines for Agile project management.

The table below lists the fields of the Product Backlog form and provides utilization guidelines for each field.

Field Label	Utilization Guideline
Name	The `Name` field is used to enter a name for the product backlog.
Disabled	The `Disabled` box is checked when the product backlog may no longer be related to other records.
Product owner	The `Product owner` field is used to enter the name of the product owner; the person responsible for managing the product backlog.
Description	The `Description` field is used to enter information such as the product goal, which can serve as a target for the team to plan against, the definition of done and the range of numbers that should be used to estimate the complexity of the backlog items.
Service instance	The `Service instance` field is used to select the service instance that the product backlog is related to. Only active service instances can be selected; service instances that have been discontinued are not available.
Request template	The `Request template` field is used to select the request template that is applied to the product backlog. A `Service instance` needs to be selected before a request template can be selected. The selected request template needs to belong to the same service as the selected service instance, and request templates that have been disabled cannot be selected.
