• [Below ideal, <5] Features cannot be broken down to follow INVEST principles

• [Below ideal, <5] Weak demand intake flow, the process when an idea gets into product backlog is not properly defined 

• [Below ideal, <5] Multiple stakeholders influence priorities, leading the backlog mess

• [Below ideal, <5] Rapid priority / roadmap changes 

• [Below ideal, <5] There are mixed roles between SM, PO, BA in backlog management, so no unique approach in preparing and moving story to the definition of ready

• [Below ideal, <5] Team does not possess enough technical background to specify technical requirements 

• [Below ideal, <5] Team setup / composition misbalance (skills ratio)

• [Above ideal, >5] Low velocity of the team, so the backlog is being burnt out slowly 

• [Above ideal, >5] There are too many requests and ideas brainstormed in advance, and being provided as requirements, groomed, and estimated as user stories, however not planned far away

• [Above ideal, >5] There are several streams/teams using the same backlog
