# How does the Sprint Backlog contribute to the transparency of the Sprint?

The [Sprint Backlog](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/sprint-backlog/) provides a highly visible, real-time picture of the work the Developers plan to accomplish during the Sprint. It belongs to the Developers, offering a transparent view of the current state of the planned and in-progress work.

This transparency is crucial for effective communication and collaboration within the team, enabling everyone involved to understand the Sprint's status and any necessary adjustments. It acts as a plan for the Sprint, detailing what the Developers aim to achieve and how they intend to do it.
