What is Backlog size?
Backlog size measures the number of work items that are not yet started at a given time. It provides visibility into the volume of unfinished work.
Track the amount of unfinished work in your projects and how that changes as your work progresses. Monitoring backlog size helps in balancing workloads. Spikes may indicate capacity issues.
