If your team is (or claims to be) using an agile approach you’ve probably been asked to lead, or at least play a key role in, backlog refinement.

That’s great.. What does that mean?

(C’mon, you know the question has crossed your mind. It’s ok.)

Backlog refinement is the often misunderstood activity in agile approaches that falls to product people to perform.

It's also an activity that can help your team succeed, as long as you understand what it’s intended to accomplish.

Hint: “writing stories” isn’t it.

Join Kent McDonald, freelance product manager and recovering agile coach, to find out how to up your backlog refinement game and be the product person everyone wants on their team.

In this session you’ll learn how to

- Maintain a manageable backlog
- Keep your team focused on the right things to build
- Make sure your team has the information they need to build that right thing.

As an attendee of this session, you’ll learn that this format isn’t necessary so that you can focus on the things that are truly helpful.
