Artifacts are the documents that are used in Scrum. They not only document the progress made so FAR in the sprint but also serve as a guide for upcoming milestones.

• Scrum Artifacts are: Product backlog, Scrum backlog, incremental product, definition of DONE, information radiators.
• Product backlog is collection of all work items that need to get done over a period of time or before PROJECT closure. These are items that entered after discussion with CUSTOMERS and end users. Just because an item is in backlog, does not mean it will get done for sure. It has to be backed with good value and the right cost.
• Sprint Backlog is the list of work items that are subset of product backlog and are taken up by Scrum team for a given sprint. This is a tentative commitment by team to deliver by end of sprint. Again, having an entry in sprint backlog does not GUARANTEE its success or completion.
• Incremental Product: The piece of working software that is delivered at the end of sprint and gets merged to the existing main product and hence, providing incremental value to the customer continuously is the incremental product. This is considered as artifact in Scrum
