Backlog Refinement

Backlog refinement, also known as backlog grooming, is the process of reviewing and updating a team's list of tasks or projects, known as the backlog. During this time, team members evaluate the priority of items, clarify requirements, and break larger tasks into smaller ones. This ensures that the most important work is clearly defined and ready for future action. Regular refinement helps keep the team organized and focused, making it easier to plan upcoming work and respond to changing needs or priorities. This practice is essential for maintaining an efficient workflow in agile project management.
