Deciding how often to refine is like figuring out how often to do laundry. Too often, and you’re wasting time on half-empty loads; too rarely, and you’re buried in a mountain of mess. </br>
Scrum Teams set their refinement rhythm so it fits their work pace, priorities, and the size of their “pile.”
