What should you do if such a situation with an overloaded backlog occurs regularly?

If the backlog is regularly overloaded, it signals problems in priority management and planning. You should:

• Review the prioritization criteria for tasks to focus on the most important and valuable for the business.
• Conduct regular backlog review sessions with the team and stakeholders.
• Limit the amount of work in the backlog, for example, through WIP limits.
• Improve communication with customers and stakeholders to avoid accumulation of irrelevant or outdated tasks.
• Automate or simplify the process of evaluating and adding tasks.

Thus, regular management and filtering of the backlog will help avoid overload and increase the team's efficiency.
