According to SAFe, how many Stories should teams maintain in their backlog?
According to SAFe, Agile Teams should maintain 2--3 iterations' worth of refined Stories in their team backlog. This ensures a steady flow of ready work without excessive upfront planning, preserving adaptability while avoiding delays caused by unrefined items.
Maintaining this level of refinement allows the team to respond effectively to changing priorities, dependencies, or feedback from stakeholders while ensuring that upcoming iterations are well-prepared. Refinement sessions are typically ongoing and collaborative, focusing on breaking down larger items into ready Stories with clear acceptance criteria.
From SAFe guidance:
''Teams continuously refine their backlog to maintain 2--3 iterations of ready stories. This supports continuous flow and readiness for iteration planning.''
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 2--3 Iterations of refined Stories.
