Product Backlog vs Sprint Backlogs

13 .Items in the Product Backlog are usually larger than items in the Sprint Backlogs.

A. True

B. False

Answer is :

Yes (True) Items in the Product Backlog are usually larger than items in the Sprint Backlogs.

This is how it works:

1. Items of different sizes are added to the Product Backlog.
2. Items are sorted based on their business value.
3. Then we check the items on the top of the Product Backlog, and if they are large, we’ll break them down into smaller items. We leave the
4. Large items on the bottom of the Product Backlog as they are for now.
5. The business values will be estimated again, and the Product Backlog sorted based on them.

Based on this explanation, the items on the top of the Product Backlog would be, statistically speaking, smaller than the average.

Since the items in the Sprint Backlog come from the top of the Product Backlog, we can say that “the items in the Sprint Backlog are usually smaller than the average item in the Product Backlog”.

Remember that we sort the Product Backlog items based only on their business value. The difference in size happens naturally, and is not a basis for sorting
