Summary

The Sprint Backlog is a list of tasks to complete during a delivery, created from selected items of the product backlog. In this video/article description of Scrum Tools, Mike Cohn details how teams may tweak the sprint backlog as sprints move forward, some do-and-don'ts, and the usages of the burn-down chart. This resource is part of a 19-part Scrum Foundations video series available on the Mountain Goat site.
