Epics can represent medium to high-level business ideas or initiatives. Similar to issues, there should be tools to manage all those ideas, evaluate them, and rank order them, and eventually schedule them. This is backlog management. Backlog management is not focused on the actual planning and execution. It is when the epic is still in the consideration phase, how can we manage a whole plethora of them, analyze which ones are better, and organize and rank them? This would be backlog management.
