sprint backlog
Hi,
Can we say that the sprint backlog is created during the sprint? I know, it's created during the sprint planning, but after all, the sprint backlog emerges during the sprint.
So it's also right to say the sprint backlog is created during the sprint...?
There is a difference between the Creation and Emergence.
BTW why do we want to justify it and to whom?
The output of the sprint planning is sprint goal and sprint backlog items. The SB items are then decomposed to a list of tasks per item.
for example:
if the SB is "extract the customer information into a csv format and send mail"
then this item is decomposed to a list of tasks like
1. Write a sql query to extract the information.
2. Save it in csv on database server
3. Attach the extract and send mail to the concerned party
now the DT starts work on these tasks, later they have identifies that for doing the third task they need to write a shell script to pick the file up and then send.
so they break the task 3 into further like
write a shell script to send an email
automate this whole process if its needed on periodcal basis using a cron job
so as you see the sprint backlog emerges during the sprint.
thanks

The Sprint Backlog ought to be created and burned down in the Sprint.
