Backlog Manager

AI-powered backlog prioritization and grooming. Surfaces what matters, automates the busywork.

The Problem

Product backlogs are where good ideas go to die:

  • Hundreds of tickets with inconsistent formatting
  • Prioritization is political rather than principled
  • Grooming sessions are painful and unproductive
  • Duplicate and stale items accumulate endlessly

The Vision

An AI assistant that actually understands your backlog:

  • Smart Prioritization: Score items based on impact, effort, and strategic alignment
  • Auto-Grooming: Identify duplicates, suggest merges, flag stale items
  • Context Synthesis: Summarize customer feedback across related tickets
  • Meeting Prep: Generate grooming session agendas with recommendations

Status

Currently in concept phase. Researching integration patterns with Jira and Linear.
