Refinement

Scrum Team

This part is iterative. Timebox the refinement of each item, 10 minutes tend to be enough. �- Product Owner shares the context and why that’s important�- Scrum team ask clarifying questions�- Product Owner refines the product backlog item with the team

- Scrum Team sizes the item (keep it simple)�This cycle repeats for as many item as possible �

Hint: Don’t over refine. If you don’t intend to work on something in the foreseeable future, don’t invest your time into it right now because things change
