backlog grooming

Backlog grooming, also known as backlog refinement, is a process used in project management, particularly in Agile methodologies. It involves regularly reviewing and prioritizing a list of tasks or features (the backlog) that need to be completed in a project. During grooming sessions, team members discuss items on the backlog, clarify requirements, estimate effort, and reorder tasks based on their importance and urgency. This ensures that the team focuses on the most valuable work and prepares for upcoming project phases, making the development process more efficient and effective.
