Sprint Backlog
A Sprint Backlog is a subset of the Product Backlog that contains the tasks and user stories selected for completion during a specific sprint in Agile development, typically Scrum. It is a dynamic, detailed plan created by the development team to outline the work needed to achieve the sprint goal, including estimates and assignments. The Sprint Backlog is owned and managed by the team, who update it daily to track progress and adapt as needed.
Developers should use a Sprint Backlog to break down high-level sprint goals into actionable tasks, ensuring clarity, focus, and accountability during the sprint. It helps teams prioritize work, manage time effectively, and track progress through daily stand-ups, reducing scope creep and improving delivery predictability. This is essential in Scrum and other Agile frameworks to maintain iterative development and continuous feedback loops.
