Efficient Sprint Planning for Product Development

Backlog Grooming Must Not Be Neglected

Is your sprint planning session tedious and time consuming? Most of the time, it’s because product owners and developers don’t regularly groom their backlog. What a lot of development teams don’t know is that effective and routine backlog grooming sessions can significantly accelerate sprint planning. There’s a misconception that the process is laborious, but this is far from the truth.

Groom the backlog by going through each Jira issue.
