Update Sprint Backlog

During Sprint Planning, the Scrum Core Team works together to build the Sprint Backlog, listing all work the team plans to finish during the Sprint.

Key Points

  • Occurs in the Sprint Planning meeting with the Scrum Core Team.
  • Produces a Sprint Backlog that outlines the tasks selected for the Sprint.
  • Tasks are broken down and sized to match team capacity and the Sprint Goal.
  • The Sprint Backlog is updated as new information emerges during the Sprint.

Example

At the start of a two-week Sprint, the team reviews the top Product Backlog items, agrees on a Sprint Goal, decomposes selected items into tasks (e.g., design API endpoint, implement service, write tests, update user guide), estimates each task, and records them in the Sprint Backlog. As the Sprint progresses, they adjust the backlog to reflect completed and newly discovered work.

AI for Project Managers — Build Plans Faster, Lead Better

Turn messy inputs into structured project plans in minutes. If you are a project manager tired of spending hours on documentation, this course shows you how to use AI to work faster while staying fully in control.

This is not a generic AI course. You will learn how to use AI as a practical co-pilot to build real project artifacts—charters, WBS, schedules, risk registers, and executive reports—using structured, reliable prompt frameworks.

You will also learn how to keep your project aligned across scope, schedule, cost, and risk, and how to interpret performance data like Earned Value Management to support better decisions and communication.

Everything is designed for immediate use. You get ready-to-use prompt templates and workflows you can apply right away in your projects. Watch the video to see how it works and start building your first AI-supported project plan.
