Work Items

Program Backlog

The Program Backlog is created, refined, and prioritized by Product Management 4.


The Program Backlog 1 is the holding area for upcoming Features, which are intended to address user needs and deliver business benefits for a single Agile Release Train 3 (ART). It also contains the enabler features necessary to build the Architectural Runway 2.

The Program Backlog is created, refined, and prioritized by Product Management. To learn more about Program Backlog Management, the LACE offers the following trainings:

Team Backlog


Organizing your work into a digestible, transparent artifact is not difficult. The Team Backlog 1 is the primary repository for managing work items. Specifically, User Stories 2. User Stories are discreet value propositions of a larger Feature or Enabler 4 from the Program Backlog 3. All User Stories will be tracked in Jira. This is because the CMS Jira implementation is able to read Jira projects and collect and collate pertinent metrics associated with team effectiveness.

LACE Community Event: Mission Impact

What is Mission Impact?

How can we use it to determine the importance of the work we do? When every requirement is critical, it can be difficult to know what to do first.
Understanding Mission Impact creates essential face-to-face dialogue between teams and their key interested parties, ensuring everyone understands the priorities and the rationale behind them.
During this, Lean-Agile Center of Excellence Community Event, we will discuss how to interpret Mission Impact and how it can help the Civic Community stay focused on work that matters.
