What is a backlog

A backlog is a list or queue of unfinished tasks or activities that have been accumulated over time and are awaiting completion. It can refer to various domains such as project management, software development, product development, or even personal tasks. The backlog serves as a repository for items that need to be addressed, prioritized, and worked on in a structured manner. The items in the backlog are typically prioritized based on their importance and urgency, and are gradually moved forward for completion as resources and time become available.
