What is the Sprint Backlog?
They are the Product Backlog items committed by the developers for completion in the next iteration.
Definition
The Sprint Backlog is a set of items from the Product Backlog (PBI) chosen for the Sprint, plus a plan for delivering the product Increment and achieving the Sprint Goal.
Dynamic
It is a living plan that evolves during the Sprint as more is learned about the work needed to achieve the Sprint Goal.
Ownership
The Developers are responsible for creating and maintaining the Sprint Backlog, ensuring it reflects the work needed to achieve the Sprint Goal.
Transparency
The Sprint Backlog is one of the Scrum artifacts that provides transparency on the work being done in the Sprint.
