How do you manage the Sprint Backlog?

Definition:

The Sprint Backlog is a subset of Product Backlog items the team commits to deliver in a

Sprint, plus a plan for how to achieve it.

How to manage it:

  • Keep it visible and up to date (via a Scrum board or tool like Jira).
  • Break down items into tasks during Sprint Planning.
  • Update daily during stand-ups based on progress.
  • Add tasks if necessary, but don’t change Sprint scope without discussion.

Example:

A team uses a Kanban board with “To Do”, “In Progress”, and “Done” columns. Every day,

they update task statuses so progress is clear and blockers are quickly identified.
