About the Idea Funnel Backlog template

Great ideas can come from anywhere, but a messy backlog can stop them in their tracks. This Idea Funnel Backlog template gives your team a clear, two-part system to manage the flow of ideas from initial concept to a well-organized sprint plan. It’s a simple way to separate the signal from the noise in your innovation workspace, ensuring your team focuses on what will drive the most value.

How to use the Idea Funnel Backlog template

Fill the funnel. Add all new ideas, feature requests, and brainstorms as cards to the Could do column on the Idea Funnel board.
Prioritize your ideas. Move cards from Could do to Should do or Must do to rank their importance and impact. This creates a simple, visual hierarchy.
Stock the backlog. Once an idea is validated and prioritized as a Must do, move it to the Backlog column on the Sprint Planning board.
Plan your sprints. With a backlog of pre-prioritized ideas, your team can pull work into the Current sprint and Next sprint columns with confidence.

Why use the Idea Funnel Backlog template?

Make objective prioritization decisions. The MoSCoW method (Must, Should, Could) provides a simple framework for evaluating ideas against your strategic goals.
Run faster, more focused sprint planning meetings. By curating the backlog beforehand, your team can spend less time debating priorities and more time planning the work.
Ensure you're always building what matters. This template creates a direct link between your best ideas and your development pipeline, so your team's effort is always aligned with impact.

Grab this template to create your own matrix, then rank the ideas you generated in a brainstorm as “How” (difficult to implement), “Now” (easy to implement), or “Wow” (both original and easy to implement).
