Backlog Refinement

Definition

The ongoing process of clarifying, splitting, estimating, and prioritizing future work before it enters a sprint. Vague ideas become work the team can actually pick up.

Why It Matters

Good refinement reduces chaos during planning and prevents teams from sprinting on unclear tasks.
