# Backlog Management Backlog Management is a critical aspect in the role of a Product Manager. It involves organizing and prioritizing a list of tasks or features - known as the "backlog" -that are required for the development of a product. Effective backlog management ensures that the product team is working on the most valuable features at the right time, thereby maximizing the product's value and reducing time to market. It requires continuous collaboration with stakeholders, balancing business needs with technical feasibility, and strategically planning to meet short and long term objectives.
