AOO UX Design - Opportunity Backlog
From Apache OpenOffice Wiki
About this Backlog
Unlike a product road map or release plan, which traditionally seeks to map specific proposed features to a schedule, an opportunity backlog is collection of insight and opportunities discovered throughout the project life cycle which serves as the starting point for further product innovation (research and design).
See AOO UX Design - About Opportunity Backlog for more information on the opportunity backlog.
