Managing Scrum Teams: Scrum Artifacts

Scrum Artifacts are integral parts of the scrum framework that provide key information about the product under development and the team's progress towards the product goals. As a part of your PSM I exam, understanding scrum artifacts thoroughly is essential.

Importance:

Scrum Artifacts are essential because they create transparency and opportunities for inspection and adaptation. These artifacts deal with 'what' is being developed and 'how' progress is being tracked. They offer vital reference points for the scrum team and stakeholders, aiding in decision-making processes.

Types of Scrum Artifacts:

Scrum Artifacts include the Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and the Increment. The Product Backlog is a list of all the desired features of the product. The Sprint Backlog is a list of tasks that need to be completed during the sprint. And the Increment is the sum of all products backlog completed during a Sprint.

Exam Tips: Answering Questions on Scrum Artifacts:

Understanding the purpose and functionalities of each artifact is vitally important. Ensure that you understand how they interact, and how they may vary in different scenarios. Visualizing practical instances can often help grasp abstract ideas. Moreover, remember the Scrum Values and how they align with the purpose of Scrum Artifacts.

For example, questions may require you to identify which backlog item can be shifted to future sprints, or to identify the role of the Increment in the review meetings. Always answer such questions while keeping in mind the primary purpose of the Scrum Artifacts which is add transparency and opportunities for inspection and adaptation.
