How Do Scrum Teams Decide the Frequency of Refinement?
Self-managing Scrum Teams determine how often refinement should occur and who should attend each session, based on their needs and context.
Metaphor
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.
Scrum Teams set their refinement rhythm so it fits their work pace, priorities, and the size of their “pile.”
