 ### Scrum artifacts
+Scrum artifacts are information that a scrum team uses and refers to that details the product being developed, the specific tasks involved in a sprint cycle, and the end goal. There are three artifacts:
+- Product backlog:
+    - The product backlog is the primary list of work that needs to get done and is maintained by the product owner or product manager
+    - It functions as a big to do list that is adaptable to adjustments and changes over time
+- Sprint backlog:
+    - The sprint backlog is the list of user stories or bug fixes that need to get done by this current sprint cycle
+    - The sprint backlog is planned thoroughly before each sprint and is chosen from the product backlog
+- Increment (sprint goal):
+    - The increment, or otherwise known as the sprint goal, is the end-product from a sprint
+    - The definition of the sprint goal changes from team to team, as for some it means a product or features usable to customers by the end of the sprint, and for other teams, the end product is the completed part of a bigger project
 
 
 ### Scrum events/ceremonies
+The scrum framework incorporates regular meetings, and events that teams perform regularly. In scrum, there are five regularly held events:
+- Organization of backlog:
+    - The responsibility of the product owner, they will make sure to continually update and maintain the product backlog, using user feedback and feedback from the devleopment team
+- Sprint planning:
+    - The user stories and/or bug fixes to be completed during the current sprint are planned during this meeting that includes the development team and is led by the scrum master
+    - In this meeting a goal is decided upon and items from the product backlog are added in accordance to this goal
+- Sprint:
+    - This is a time period where the scrum team works together to complete items in the scope of the sprint, usually being two weeks
+- Daily standup:
+    - The standup is a regularly scheduled meeting in which members of the scrum team will update members on their progress and bring up and blockers they are facing with their work
+- Sprint review:
+    - This occurs at the end of the sprint, where the team meets to have an information session to demo the end-product and showcases the completed backlog items
+- Sprint retrospective: 
+    - Also occurs at the end of the sprint, the retro is where the team meets to discuss the aspects of the sprint that worked and did not work
+    - This builds in feedback and continual improvement of processes in the scrum framework
