This is great when you’re the sole dev and PM. It does not scale well. Especially if you have stakeholders above you in the org chart.

How do I stop someone else from putting that back on my backlog again?

Just today I had someone open a bug on my code because they decided that the organization was wrong. Some modules should be moved from one directory to another. Never mind why they opened it as a bug, the reality is people are opening and putting stories on my backlog.

Yes, but easier said than done.
