Scrum - 3

 

# Scrum Artifacts

Scrum’s artifacts represent work or value. They are designed to maximize transparency of key

information. These are as follows

The Product Backlog is an emergent, ordered list of what is needed to improve the product. It is

the single source of work undertaken by the Scrum Team.

The Sprint Backlog is composed of the Sprint Goal (why), the set of Product Backlog items selected

for the Sprint (what), as well as an actionable plan for delivering the Increment (how).

An Increment is a concrete steppingstone toward the Product Goal. Each Increment is additive to

all prior Increments and thoroughly verified, ensuring that all Increments work together.

Definition Of Done(DOD)#

The DoD is usually a short document in the form of a checklist, that defines when a product backlog item (i.e., user story) is considered “done”.

Definition Of Ready(DOR)#

It is a checklist of what needs to be done to a product backlog item before the team can start

implementing it in the next sprint. The Product Owner must fulfil so that the Development Team

accepts the story in the Sprint Planning meeting.

It should also meet the INVEST Criteria.
