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.
