What elements are included in the Sprint Backlog?

Only PBIs
Project milestones and deadlines
The Sprint Goal, PBIs, and Tasks
Performance metrics and KPIs

The correct answer is: The Sprint Goal, PBIs, and Tasks

The selected answer is correct because the Sprint Backlog consists of the items that the Scrum Team commits to complete during the current Sprint. This includes the Sprint Goal, which serves as the overarching objective for the Sprint, ensuring that all efforts are aligned toward a common target. Additionally, the Product Backlog Items (PBIs) selected for the Sprint are included, which represent the specific pieces of functionality or work that the team aims to deliver. Alongside these PBIs, the Sprint Backlog also contains the detailed tasks that the team has identified to execute the work, providing a clear breakdown of activities for achieving the Sprint Goal. In contrast, other options include elements that are not part of the Sprint Backlog. Project milestones and deadlines are general planning tools but do not specifically reflect the work committed to in the current Sprint. Performance metrics and KPIs focus on assessing results and outcomes, rather than detailing the specific work items planned for completion. Therefore, the correct understanding of the Sprint Backlog is that it is a comprehensive collection of the Sprint Goal, selected PBIs, and the corresponding tasks the team plans to accomplish within the Sprint timeframe.
