Is it possible to associate one product backlog with multiple projects?


I'm building two products. I am trying to build one backlog for a product with two Projects. My first product is a web application and the other is a mobile application.

Is it possible to associate those two Project with one team and one Product? The owner with one Product Backlog / table of release?

How can I manage Scrum with those two projects with one team and one Product Owner?


Solution

  • My advice: Don't run both projects parallel on one Scrum Team. Start and finish the most important one (maybe only a MVP [1]) and then start the other.

    Every parallelisation will decrease the Teams productivity [2].
