A sprint plan is the output of sprint planning, and the product roadmap is high-level; neither individually nor together do they fully replace the comprehensive scheduling function of a traditional project schedule as effectively as the product backlog combined with scrum boards for tracking.

In Scrum, the Product Backlog serves as the ordered, dynamic list of all known work for the product, outlining what needs to be built over time, thus replacing the long-term, fixed project schedule. The Scrum Board (or sprint board) visually displays the tasks for the current sprint, showing progress and replacing a detailed day-to-day schedule within the sprint.
