What does backlog mean?
A list or collection of tasks, jobs, or items that have been postponed or delayed, often because they are not urgent or have been pushed to the end of a queue. In software development, a backlog is a list of features or tasks that are to be implemented in a product or system.
Example
"The company's backlog of orders was cleared within a week, thanks to the extra staff hired to meet the demand."
