Which of the following is NOT an artifact in Scrum?

Product backlog
Sprint backlog
Product Increment
Daily Scrum

The correct answer is: Daily Scrum

The Daily Scrum is not considered an artifact in Scrum. Instead, it is a recurring event or ceremony that takes place during each sprint. The primary purpose of the Daily Scrum is to enable the Development Team to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt their upcoming work as necessary. This meeting is typically time-boxed to 15 minutes and focuses on collaboration, communication, and team synchronization. In contrast, the other three options—Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and Product Increment—are recognized as essential artifacts within the Scrum framework. The Product Backlog is a prioritized list of items representing the work needed to achieve the product goal, while the Sprint Backlog contains items from the Product Backlog selected for the current sprint along with a plan for delivering them. The Product Increment refers to the sum of all completed Product Backlog items at the end of a sprint, representing a step toward the product goal and showcasing the value delivered. Understanding the distinction between artifacts and ceremonies is crucial for properly applying Scrum principles and practices.
