A backlog is the buildup of open, unhandled customer inquiries waiting for a reply or resolution.
A backlog builds up when more new tickets arrive than a team can handle, causing open inquiries to pile up. A growing backlog is an early warning sign that capacity or processes are falling short.
Backlogs are harmful to customer satisfaction: the longer a question goes unanswered, the higher the chance of frustration, repeat contacts, and eventually churn.
