Backlog Rescue
Turn your website backlog into a delivery list. Got dozens of website changes sitting in Jira, Trello or spreadsheets? We'll assess the backlog and identify what can be delivered quickly through your existing experimentation technology — then clear it as a rolling programme. Engineering keeps the work that genuinely needs engineering.
Indicative turnaround
Ongoing, reviewed monthly
Turnaround depends on the complexity of the change, your platform setup and your internal approval process. We confirm timings before any work starts.
Who it's for
Heads of Ecommerce and Product whose backlogs grow faster than engineering capacity can clear them.
What it covers
- 01Small front-end tickets permanently outranked
- 02UX and mobile fixes stuck in the queue
- 03Content and merchandising requests
- 04Campaign leftovers that missed their date
When to use it
- 01Small items are permanently outranked by platform work
- 02You need visible progress during a replatform
- 03Trading and marketing requests keep losing to the roadmap
- 04The queue is full of low-complexity, high-frustration tickets
Honest scope
When it shouldn't be used.
Boltimize removes suitable work from the development queue — it does not replace an engineering department. Anything that belongs in the core build, we say so.
- 01Your backlog is mostly structural or platform-level work
- 02There's no experimentation platform in place to deliver through
- 03You expect it to replace the engineering team — it doesn't
- 04Tickets lack owners or decisions stall internally
How the work runs.
- 01
Share your backlog
Week 1
Send us an export — Jira, Trello or a spreadsheet. If it's a list of website changes, we can work with it.
- 02
We review it
Week 1
Every ticket is read by a specialist, not skimmed by a tool. We note scope, dependencies and what each change is actually asking for.
- 03
We categorise the work
Weeks 1–2
Every ticket gets a colour: green is rapidly deliverable, amber needs investigation, red stays with engineering.
- 04
We identify quick wins
Week 2
The green list is ranked by impact versus effort, so the most valuable changes ship first.
- 05
We agree priorities
Week 2
A delivery order agreed with your product and engineering leads — nothing ships without sign-off.
- 06
We start delivering
Ongoing
Green items ship as a rolling programme — each one QA'd, measured and reversible, with a monthly review of what's next.
Your backlog40 website tickets
Every request, fix and idea — one undifferentiated queue.
Boltimize assessmentEvery ticket classified
- Green — Rapidly deliverableFront-end work we can build and ship through your experimentation platform — no core development needed.
- Amber — Needs investigationProbably deliverable, but something needs checking first — a dependency, an unknown integration, a platform constraint.
- Red — Engineering requiredGenuinely structural. It stays with your engineering team — documented, so it can be prioritised properly.
