A project charter can help to communicate the project vision and expectations to all stakeholders and provide a basis for future project decisions.

  C. 10
  D. 15
  A. 23

  ---

  Explanation

  The number of items in the backlog can be determined by looking at the "Commitment" column for each sprint in the provided chart. For Sprint 5, there is a commitment of completing 23 items, which is the highest among all sprints. This indicates that there are at least 23 items in the backlog to be worked on. This is consistent with the concept of agile project management, which allows for changes and additions to the project scope based on customer feedback and changing requirements.
