Within the SAFe framework, Product Management holds content authority over the Program Backlog. This includes defining the Vision, the Roadmap, driving the PI Objectives, and establishing Features and benefit hypotheses. The Program Backlog is a critical element that contains upcoming Features intended to address user needs and deliver business benefits for a single Agile Release Train (ART). It also includes enabler features necessary to build the Architectural Runway1. Product Management’s role involves identifying, refining, prioritizing, and sequencing backlog items using Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) to ensure economic success1. While managing risk and driving continuous improvement are important aspects of the SAFe framework, they are not specifically cited as part of the content authority of Product Management for the Program Backlog1. Working with business stakeholders and Solution and System Architects to implement technology across Value Streams is also crucial, but it is a collaborative effort that extends beyond the sole authority of Product Management1.
