What is the downside of keeping the "bad" ideas around forever other than you find it annoying? My point is that people only care that the backlog grows indefinitely because it disagrees with their sense of order. This is the type of thing an analytic thinker tends to care about, but the size of the backlog queue doesn't really have any meaningful impact on anything.
I'm not sure you can say no without stifling future input, or if you can it requires a lot of tact. People don't like rejection. Being rejected makes them less likely to try again in the future.
- Dylan16807 4y agoThe problem isn't keeping them, the problem is mixing them with the good ideas that are low priority. Then you have to mentally re-categorize them every time you go through the list, and if you actually start to shrink the backlog then they come back to cause problems, like making you still have to reject them or someone wasting their time implementing them.
