## What Is Product Backlog Refinement? Product Backlog Refinement is the ongoing process of improving Product Backlog Items (PBIs) until they are ready for inclusion in a Sprint Backlog. It involves evolving vague ideas into well-defined work through focused discussions. >[!metaphor] >Product Backlog Refinement is like taking rough clay lumps and shaping them into ready-to-fire pottery. You start with a vague form, then work it until it’s sturdy, detailed, and fit for the kiln. </br> Through refinement, PBIs move from loose concepts to well-formed work items that can be confidently picked up in a Sprint. ## Works Consulted 1.
