How to write a good PBI?
A well-written PBI in Scrum should have a clear title, detailed description, stated business value, appropriate prioritization, and an effort estimate - all of which help the development team understand and deliver the most valuable features.
The PBI title should be brief but informative and written in terms of business value rather than technical details. A good PBI title is similar to a newspaper headline—it should be short and compelling to attract the reader's interest.
The PBI description should focus on the item and how it relates to the customers or the business. It should also answer any questions the development team may have, such as dependencies on other backlog items or required knowledge. It should clearly state the business value or outcome it aims to achieve and the impact it will have. This helps the team understand why the item is in the backlog and what benefits it provides.
The PBI should be ordered or prioritized based on its importance and when the development team should focus on it. Higher priority items are likely to be easier to estimate, while lower priority items may evolve over time. An estimate of the effort required to complete the PBI should also be provided.
