Q: Which of the following is a Scrum artifact?
A) Sprint Burndown Chart
B) Sprint Goal
C) Sprint Backlog
D) Definition of Done
Correct Answer is C) Sprint Backlog.
EXPLANATION
An artifact can either be described as a tool that solves a problem, or a work of art that inspires people. The Latin word meaning of artifact, which translates to “Work of Art” explains the same. Scrum describes three primary artifacts: the Product Backlog, the Sprint Backlog, and the Product Increment.
A Scrum artifact is a tangible, visible representation of work or a component of work. In Scrum, there are three main artifacts:
- Product Backlog: This is a prioritized list of features, user stories, or requirements that the development team needs to complete in order to build the product.
- Sprint Backlog: This is a subset of the Product Backlog that the development team selects to complete in the upcoming sprint.
- Increment: This is the result of each sprint, which is an updated and usable version of the product that includes new features and functionality.
So, the correct answer is: Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and Increment are all Scrum artifacts.
