The Scrum Master also helps in organizing Scrum events and collaborates with the Product Owner and the Development Team.
##### 2.2.2 Product Owner
##### Product Owner
The Product Owner represents stakeholders and is accountable for maximizing the value of the product. They are responsible for managing the Product Backlog, ensuring that it is transparent, prioritized, and contains items with clear descriptions. The Product Owner collaborates with the Development Team and stakeholders to define product vision and ensure the team delivers the most valuable features.
##### 2.2.3 Development Team
##### Development Team
The Development Team consists of professionals who do the work of delivering a potentially releasable Increment of the product at the end of each Sprint. They are self-organizing and cross-functional, meaning they collectively possess all the skills necessary to deliver the product. The Development Team collaborates with the Product Owner to clarify requirements and with the Scrum Master to continually improve their processes.
#### 2.3 Scrum Artifacts
#### Scrum Artifacts
Scrum utilizes three essential artifacts to facilitate a clear understanding of the product being developed and the progress made during the development process:
##### 2.3.1. Product Backlog
##### Product Backlog
- Purpose: The Product Backlog is a dynamic and prioritized list of all the work items (user stories, features, bug fixes, improvements) needed to be completed for the product. It represents the requirements and the vision of the product.
- Importance: The Product Backlog acts as the single source of truth for the development team and stakeholders, ensuring a shared understanding of the product's scope and priorities. It enables transparency and allows for the continuous inspection and adaptation of the project's requirements.
##### 2.3.1. Sprint Backlog
##### Sprint Backlog
- Purpose: The Sprint Backlog is a subset of the Product Backlog that includes the work items selected by the Development Team to complete during a Sprint. It represents the tasks the team commits to accomplishing during the Sprint.
- Importance: The Sprint Backlog is crucial because it helps the Development Team understand what needs to be done during the Sprint. By selecting a set of items from the Product Backlog, the team commits to achieving specific goals within the Sprint. The Sprint Backlog serves as a guide during the Daily Stand-up, where team members can track progress and identify any obstacles or challenges that need to be addressed.
##### 2.3.1. Product Increment
##### Product Increment
- Purpose: The Product Increment is the sum of all the completed and potentially releasable Product Backlog items at the end of a Sprint. It is the tangible output of the team's work during the Sprint.
