What are the key artifacts in Scrum, and what do they represent?

Scrum defines three key artifacts:

• Product Backlog – A prioritized list of everything that might be needed in the

product, maintained by the Product Owner.

• Sprint Backlog – A subset of the Product Backlog items selected for the current

Sprint, along with a plan for delivering them.

• Increment – The sum of all completed work that meets the Definition of Done at the

end of a Sprint.

Example:

If your product is an e-commerce website, the Product Backlog could include features like

"Add to Cart", "Payment Gateway", and "User Login". In the current Sprint, the Sprint

Backlog may include just “User Login” and “Add to Cart”. At the end of the Sprint, a working

login system is delivered as the Increment.
