What is a Product?
Scrum has always placed products front and center with key artifacts, events, and roles, including the word "product." But before the 2020 release of the Scrum Guide, product was not explicitly defined, relying on a standard definition such as a good or service provided for sale or use. In the 2020 release of the Scrum Guide, more clarity was added.
A product is a vehicle to deliver value. It has a clear boundary, known stakeholders, well defined users or customers. A product could be a service, a physical product or something more abstract. Scrum Guide 2020
The definition clarifies Scrum Teams in more abstract domains such as drug discovery and research. Ultimately, a product provides a way of grouping user capabilities in a logical fashion that makes sense to stakeholders and teams.
