Product Backlog Refinement¶

Product Backlog Refinement is the process through which a team builds a shared mental model of upcoming work before it enters a sprint. By reviewing, splitting, and estimating backlog items together, developers surface hidden complexity early, effort becomes visible to everyone involved, and stakeholders get earlier signals when priorities need to shift. The output is not just a groomed list but a team that already understands what the next items require.
