Sprint Backlog
7 Healthy Practices
start
01
Collabortive Refinement
Backlog items selected for the sprint are refined collaboratively by the Scrum team and the product owner. This ensures that the items are well-defined, have clear acceptance criteria, and are appropriately sized and prioritized.
02
Priortization
Sprint backlog should reflect the highest-priority items from the product backlog. The team should work closely with the product owner to understand the importance and value of each item to make informed prioritization decisions.
03
Right-Sized
Should be realistic and manageable within the sprint's time frame. The team should ensure that they have enough capacity to complete the selected items based on their historical velocity and the team's availability.
04
Task Break-Down
User stories in the sprint backlog should be decomposed into specific tasks or sub-tasks. This helps in understanding the work required and facilitates better estimation, assignment, and tracking of progress during the sprint.
05
Transparent & Visible
Be visible to the entire Scrum team and stakeholders. Using a physical or digital board, such as a task board or a project management tool, helps in maintaining transparency and allows everyone to track the progress and make adjustments if needed.
06
Daily Stand-ups
During daily stand-up meetings, team members discuss the progress and any impediments related to the sprint backlog items. This helps in identifying and addressing issues promptly, keeping the sprint backlog healthy and on track.
07
Adaptibility
Adaptable based on the team's progress and emerging requirements. If new insights or changes occur during the sprint, the backlog can be adjusted in collaboration with the product owner, while ensuring minimal disruption to the sprint's goals.
By following these practices, the Scrum team can keep the sprint backlog healthy, focused, and aligned with the overall project goals, increasing the chances of successful sprint completion.
