In an adaptive project, what term describes the group of tasks to work on?

• A. Sprint backlog
• B. Product backlog
• C. Project charter
• D. Milestones

Answer: (B)

In an adaptive project, the group of tasks to work on is the product backlog. It’s a living, prioritized list of features, enhancements, bug fixes, and other work needed to deliver the product. The backlog is continually refined and reprioritized as new information emerges, and the team pulls items from the top of the backlog for each iteration. This approach supports delivering value incrementally, with the most important work addressed first. The items are usually written as user stories and owned by the product owner. By contrast, the sprint backlog is the subset selected for the current sprint and includes a plan for delivering those items; a project charter outlines purpose and authority, and milestones mark key points in the schedule.
