PK0-005 Tools and Documentation Practice Question
In an Agile project, the team uses story points to estimate effort. During sprint planning, they select user stories from the product backlog and assign them to the sprint. What is the resulting list of items committed for the sprint called?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Sprint backlog
The sprint backlog is the set of product backlog items selected for the sprint, along with a plan for delivering them. The product backlog is the full list of requirements; burndown/burnup charts track progress.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Product backlog
Why it's wrong here
The product backlog is the master, prioritised list of all outstanding work for the product, from which items are drawn. It is tempting because sprint items originate there, but the subset committed during sprint planning is the sprint backlog, not the product backlog.
- ✗
Burndown chart
Why it's wrong here
A burndown chart is a graphical plot of remaining work against time within a sprint, not a list of committed items. It is tempting because it does track the sprint's selected stories, but it visualises progress rather than naming the sprint backlog itself.
- ✗
Burnup chart
Why it's wrong here
A burnup chart plots completed work against total scope over time, so it displays progress rather than listing committed stories. It is tempting because it reflects sprint scope, but the artefact naming the items selected during sprint planning is the sprint backlog.
- ✓
Sprint backlog
Why this is correct
The sprint backlog is the subset of product backlog items the team commits to for the sprint, plus the plan for delivering them. It satisfies the stem's constraint of being the resulting list produced during sprint planning, distinct from the product backlog, which holds all unrefined future work.
