The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that is known to be needed in the product. It is the single source of truth for the Scrum Team and the stakeholders. It contains all the requirements, features, functions, enhancements, fixes, and anything else that can deliver value to the customers and users of the product.
The Product Owner is accountable for managing and refining the Product Backlog, collaborating with the stakeholders and the Developers, and ordering the items in a way that best achieves goals and missions. The Product Owner represents the interests of everyone with a stake in the product and ensures that the Scrum Team works on the right things at the right time.
The Developers are accountable for creating a “Done” Increment that meets the Definition of Done each Sprint. The Developers are responsible for planning and executing the Sprint Backlog, designing and building the product functionality, testing and improving the product quality, and delivering a potentially releasable Increment. The Developers work closely with the Product Owner to understand and clarify the Product Backlog items, provide feedback and estimates, and suggest improvements and innovations.
All planned work for the Product done by the Scrum Team must originate from the Product Backlog. The Scrum Team does not work on anything that is not in the Product Backlog. The Scrum Team does not add or remove anything from the Product Backlog without consulting with the Product Owner. The Scrum Team does not accept or implement any requests or changes that are not in the Product Backlog. The Scrum Team does not create any other artifacts or documents that are not derived from or related to the Product Backlog.
