PK0-005 Tools and Documentation Practice Question
Which agile artifact contains the prioritized list of all desired work for a product?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse the product backlog (all prioritized work) with the sprint backlog (the subset selected for one sprint), since both are called 'backlogs' and candidates often pick the sprint backlog by reflex.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Product backlog
The product backlog is the single, prioritized list of all desired work for a product, owned and continuously refined by the Product Owner. It contains features, enhancements, bug fixes, and technical work ordered by business value, and it serves as the master source from which sprint backlogs are drawn. Because it is prioritized and comprehensive, it matches the question's definition exactly.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Burndown chart
Why it's wrong here
A burndown chart plots remaining work against time to track sprint progress; it holds no prioritised backlog. It is tempting because it visualises outstanding work, but the product backlog is the artefact that actually lists and orders all desired work.
- ✗
Sprint backlog
Why it's wrong here
The sprint backlog holds only the items selected for the current sprint, not the full prioritised product list. It tempts because it is the team's active work list, and would be correct when asking what work the team committed to during this iteration.
- ✗
Definition of done
Why it's wrong here
The definition of done is a shared quality checklist for completed increments, containing no prioritised work items. It tempts because it governs whether backlog items count as finished, and would be correct when asking what criteria an increment must satisfy.
- ✓
Product backlog
Why this is correct
The product backlog is the single, ordered list of every desired feature, fix, and enhancement for the product, with the highest-value items prioritised first. This directly satisfies the stem's requirement for a prioritised list of all desired work, distinguishing it from the sprint backlog, which holds only the subset selected for one iteration.
