## Why Is Regular Product Backlog Refinement Beneficial? Regular refinement promotes greater clarity, shared understanding, and alignment on goals and priorities for PBIs, improving readiness for Sprint Planning. >[!metaphor] Regular backlog refinement is like tidying your kitchen before cooking dinner. It keeps the space clear, the tools ready, and everyone knowing where things are. </br> When the Product Backlog is regularly “tidied,” Sprint Planning runs smoother, and the team can focus on creating value instead of hunting for clarity. ## Works Consulted 1.
