Day 19 / 100 · Scrum done right · Backlog refinement

Little and often.

Refinement is ongoing work, not a Scrum event. Its job is to make the next few sprints' worth of items clear enough to plan.

Clarify

What's the problem, who's it for, how will we know it's done?

Split

Break big items into slices that fit a sprint.

Size

A rough estimate, enough to plan with.

Order

The Product Owner adjusts priorities as clarity grows.

Refine the top. Two sprints ahead. Little and often.
