Scrum Artifacts

  Scrum artifacts are key elements that enable transparency and progress tracking within the Scrum Team. Each artifact has a specific purpose that helps team members maintain a clear focus and collaborate effectively.

Product Backlog

  The Product Backlog is a prioritized list of all the work that needs to be done in the project. It's composed of features, enhancements, fixes, and tasks necessary to create the product. It is managed by the Product Owner, who ensures the Backlog is always updated and reflects business needs and priorities.

Sprint Backlog

  The Sprint Backlog is a subset of the Product Backlog containing the items that the Development Team commits to complete during the Sprint. The Sprint Backlog is created during Sprint Planning and is a detailed plan for achieving the Sprint Goal.

Increment

  The Increment is the sum of all items completed during a Sprint and previous Sprints. The Increment must be functional, reviewable, and meet the Definition of Done. The goal is to deliver tangible and potentially shippable value at the end of each Sprint.

Definition of Done (DoD)

  The Definition of Done is an agreement among the Scrum Team about the criteria an Increment must meet to be considered complete. These criteria ensure that the work performed is of quality and meets previously established requirements.
