Whenever we hear about Backlog Refinement, a picture emerges
- team is meeting regularly and refining the stories and feature. This event
may happen once or twice during a Sprint. Is this picture depicting the whole
reality? No! I think in reality is little more complicated and not so smooth.
Refinement is a continuous activity with a context-specific
combination of once-off big events and regular events. Think about your home.
You invest in the daily efforts to keep it clean. Also, on weekends, you look
into kids’ room to make sure it is clean. And then you have garage cleaning
sale in the summer. On similar lines, during a sprint, you focus on stories and
maybe some features. Once in a month (duration depends upon context), it’s the
turn of Features and maybe some super important Epics. Once in two months or in
a quarter (again duration is context dependent), the Epic time arrives.
In summary, Backlog Refinement is a continuous activity with
some combination of once off as well as regular events.
