Backlog refinement involves reviewing and adjusting the backlog regularly, ensuring that the items are clear, up-to-date, and prioritised.
Proper backlog refinement prepares the team for upcoming sprints, focuses on high-priority tasks aligned with project goals, and improves communication between stakeholders.
The primary objective of backlog refinement is to ensure that the team enters each sprint with a clear understanding of what needs to be done and why.
Continuous backlog refinement leads to smoother sprints, higher success rates, and avoids pitfalls of unclear or poorly defined tasks.
