Backlog Refinement

Backlog refinement is a process used in Agile software development to keep the product backlog accurate, organized, and ready for upcoming work. It helps the team break down large ideas into smaller, manageable tasks before they are selected for development.

This activity often involves the product owner, Scrum master, and development team working together to clarify goals, update priorities, and add detail to user stories or features. By regularly revisiting and refining the backlog, the team ensures that upcoming work is clearly understood and actionable. This process improves collaboration, minimizes confusion, and prepares the team for efficient sprint planning.
