Backlog in Jira

[Tinker Fadoua]

Good Day everyone,

Since Jira Product Discovery (JPD) allows users to collect, create, then link their ideas to Jira work items.

If teams can share their ideas in one centralized place, I feel there won't be a need to create work items in backlog when some of them will never be worked on. Not to mention how some backlogs have a huge list of work items that were never or will be prioritized.

Do you anticipate in the future Atlassian can remove backlog from Jira?

Best,

Fadoua

I don't think so. JPD doesn't replace the backlog, but it does help prevent work from being added to the backlog prematurely. (IMO)

Thank you for taking time to share your input @Aaron Morris !

You are maybe confusing the sprint / work backlog with the product backlog. JPD can (and should) replace the later. You still need the former in Jira.

Thank you @Dirk Lachowski  for sharing your input! I am definitely referring to Product Backlog as I am not seeing the need for it.
