Answer from AI
Backlog refinement (or grooming) is a regular Scrum process aimed at clarifying and preparing Product Backlog items for upcoming sprints. During refinement, the team:
- Analyzes and clarifies requirements for tasks.
- Estimates tasks by difficulty or volume.
- Breaks down large tasks into smaller, more understandable ones.
- Prioritizes backlog items.
This helps ensure that the backlog is always up-to-date and ready for planning, reducing uncertainty and increasing team efficiency.
