IMPROVEMENT BACKLOG

Enhancement ideas arrive in reviews, emails and workshops — and scatter. There is no single prioritized backlog, so effort goes to whoever asked loudest, not what matters most.

Actors

  • Continuous Improvement Lead
  • Service Delivery Manager
  • Customer Success Manager

Systems / Vendors

  • Jira
  • ServiceNow
  • Domo

Business Question

"We have improvement ideas in five places and priorities in none — what are we actually working on next, and why?"

What SPoG Does

  • Centralizes every identified enhancement into one tracked backlog with a single owner per item.
  • Prioritizes by business impact and effort so the next thing worked on is the right thing.
  • Shows clients transparent progress on their items, turning the backlog into a trust asset.
