#Scrum’s #artifacts represent work or value to provide #transparency and #opportunities for #inspection and #adaptation. #Artifacts defined by #Scrum are specifically designed to maximize #transparency of key #information so that everybody has the same #understanding of the #artifact.

An example of a #fundamental artifact is the "#ProductBacklog:"

The #ProductBacklog is an ordered list of #everything that is known to be #needed in the #product. It is the single source of #requirements for any changes to be made to the #product. The #ProductOwner is responsible for the #Product Backlog, including its #content, #availability, and #ordering.

A #ProductBacklog is never complete. The earliest development of it lays out the initially known and best-understood requirements. The #ProductBacklog evolves as the product and the environment in which it will be used evolves. The #ProductBacklog is dynamic; it constantly changes to identify what the product needs to be appropriate, competitive, and useful. If a product exists, its #ProductBacklog also exists.

The #ProductBacklog lists all #features, #functions, #requirements, #enhancements, and fixes that constitute the changes to be made to the #product in future releases. #ProductBacklog items have the attributes of a #description, #order, #estimate, and #value. #ProductBacklog items often include test #descriptions that will prove their #completeness when "Done".

Multiple #ScrumTeams often work together on the same #product. One #ProductBacklog is used to describe the upcoming work on the #product. A #ProductBacklog attribute that groups items may then be employed.

#ProductBacklog refinement is the act of adding #detail, #estimates, and #order to items in the #ProductBacklog. This is an ongoing process in which the #ProductOwner and the #DevelopmentTeam collaborate on the details of #ProductBacklog items. During #ProductBacklog refinement, items are reviewed and revised. The #ScrumTeam decides how and when refinement is done. Refinement usually consumes no more than 10% of the capacity of the #DevelopmentTeam. However, #ProductBacklog items can be updated at any time by the #ProductOwner or at the #ProductOwner’s discretion.

Next time, we'll be talking about another #artifact, the "#SprintBacklog"
