Backlogs were meant to streamline software delivery, but they’ve become cluttered lists of ideas and “someday” tasks. Instead of driving progress, they delay decisions and stall important changes.

There’s a better way: ditch the backlog and switch to a release-first approach with BuildMaster, where every change is planned, prioritized, and tied to a clear release.

We recently hosted an insightful webinar titled “Ditch the Backlog: Plan and Ship Software Predictably with BuildMaster.” If you missed it, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! You can watch the recording here:

In this webinar, we shared actionable strategies to deliver software with clarity and confidence. Here are some of the key topics covered:

• Why Backlogs Fail: Discover why traditional backlogs often result in lost ideas and technical debt—and how you can break this cycle.
• Release-First Planning: Learn a four-step process to assign every change to a release, set clear priorities, and auto-escalate low-priority tasks.
• Using BuildMaster for Success: Explore how BuildMaster replaces fragmented toolchains like Jenkins and Octopus with an all-in-one release platform that enhances automation and visibility, keeping teams aligned without unnecessary overhead.

This session was packed with practical insights designed to help teams streamline their software delivery processes. Whether you’re a developer, a DevOps practitioner, or a project manager, this webinar is a must-watch!
