Project Backlog in Scrum is a prioritized list of items that a scrum team will take on over the duration of a project. It contains all the tasks, features and ideas that the team needs to complete in order to deliver a successful project to the customer. Each item in the backlog is prioritised against the business and development goals of the project.

Project Backlog is typically owned and maintained by the Product Owner, and consists of user stories, issues, risks, and any other work items required to produce the final product. The Product Owner is responsible for maintaining the project backlog and for choosing which items will be worked on next.

Project Backlog has some core features such as:

It is dynamic and will change as the project progresses.
It is designed to be a single location for capturing, prioritizing, and tracking all ideas and tasks needed for the project.
It allows work to be easily tracked and monitored.
It helps the team to stay focused on the key objectives of the project.

Project backlogs are an essential part of any scrum project and should constantly be reviewed and re-prioritised to ensure the best possible outcome.

Project Backlog in Scrum is a dynamic document which includes all tasks or goals that are necessary for product development or release. It is an ever-evolving list of user stories (all details related to a particular feature or task) and tasks to be executed or achieved by the scrum team.

The Project Backlog is maintained and reviewed by the product owner who is responsible for prioritizing the user stories or tasks and setting clear scope and objectives. The scrum team is then responsible for accomplishing the user stories in the backlog as part of their sprints.

The goals of the Project Backlog are:
• To define, prioritize, and estimate the work to be completed
• To track progress during a sprint
• To provide visibility on user stories and associated tasks
• To provide a top level list of all stories, tasks, and features to be implemented

The Scrum team should maintain the backlog by regularly re-prioritizing, creating story estimates, and adding new stories to the project backlog as they become known.
