Product Backlog Refinement — Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) Practice Questions
Product Backlog Refinement is the ongoing activity in which the Product Owner and Developers collaborate to add detail, estimates, and order to Product Backlog items so they are ready for future Sprints. It is not a formal Scrum event and has no fixed time-box, but the Scrum Guide suggests it should consume no more than ten percent of the Developers' capacity. PSM I questions on this topic focus on who is responsible, when it occurs, and what it produces, distinguishing it from Sprint Planning.
