In Scrum, a refinement, also known as backlog refinement or grooming, is a dedicated time-boxed activity that occurs during the Sprint. Its purpose is to collaboratively review and update the Product Backlog items to ensure that they are well understood, appropriately prioritized, and ready for implementation in upcoming Sprints.
The refinement process involves the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and the Development Team, although other stakeholders can also be invited to provide input and clarification. During the refinement session, the team examines the Product Backlog items that are likely to be worked on in the next one or two Sprints. The goal is to refine the items to a level of detail that allows the team to estimate effort accurately and plan their implementation.
