Guide: Understanding Scrum Artifacts

Scrum Artifacts are essential elements in the Scrum framework. They are crucial because they provide key information about the product being developed and the work to be done. There are three primary Scrum Artifacts: the Product Backlog, the Sprint Backlog, and the Increment.

What are Scrum Artifacts?
Scrum Artifacts are designed to maximize transparency of key information. As mentioned above, the primary artifacts are the Product Backlog, the Sprint Backlog, and the Increment.

How Scrum Artifacts work?
-Product Backlog: It is an ordered list of everything needed in the product. The Product Owner is responsible for the Product Backlog.
-Sprint Backlog: It is a set of items from the Product Backlog selected for the Sprint.
-Increment: It is a sum of all the Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint.
