Definition
As compared to the product backlog, the Sprint backlog is a more orderly work or task list that is a subset of that larger product backlog. The Sprint backlog only contains the items that will be completed within the current Sprint. The elements within a Sprint backlog are called items, and their form can be very different, depending on the type of work performed, and the nature of the project being worked on. For example, these can be ideas, defects, improvements, user stories.
