<h1 class="topictitle1">Artifact</h1>
<div><p>An artifact is a tangible work product that is consumed, produced, or modified
by tasks. Artifacts may be composed of other artifacts. For example, a model
artifact can be composed of model elements, which are also artifacts. </p>
<p>Roles use artifacts to perform tasks and to produce other artifacts. Each
artifact is the responsibility of a single role, making responsibility easy
to identify and understand, and promoting the idea that every piece of information
produced in a method requires the appropriate set of skills. Even though only
one role is responsible for an artifact, other roles may use the artifacts.</p>
