Scrum Artefacts and their Applications: A Comprehensive Guide

Scrum artefacts are crucial parts of the Scrum framework that are often the focus on Scrum Master Certification exams. They provide transparency about the product and project work to all involved (teams, stakeholders, etc.).

Why It's Important: Scrum artefacts serve to:

  • Improve transparency within the team
  • Ensure a shared understanding
  • Provide insight into product and Sprint backlog
This directly impacts a project's execution and outcome.

What It Includes: The Scrum Artefacts include:
  • Product Backlog
  • Sprint Backlog
  • Increment

Each of these artefacts has a specific purpose.
Product Backlog - A list of everything that is known to be needed in the product.
Sprint Backlog - It is made up of the product backlog items that the team agrees to deliver in a sprint.
Increment - The sum of all the product backlog items completed during a Sprint.

How It Works: Scrum artefacts constitute the output of various Scrum events and are continuously refined throughout the project.

More importantly, what is tested in the exam involves understanding of these concepts, their application and ability to interpret various scenarios involving these artefacts.

Exam Tips:
  • Understand each artefact’s definition, purpose, and how it fits within the Scrum process.
  • Be prepared to answer hypothetical scenarios involving the artefacts—know when and why you would use each one.
  • Don't memorize - grasp and understand.
  • Pay attention to the impact, revision, and maintenance of artefacts throughout the Sprint cycle.

By making sure you comprehend these aspects, you'll be better prepared for any Scrum artefacts related questions that come up in your Scrum Master certification exam.
