What is scrum backlog refinement?

The Daily standup is a brief 15-minute daily check-in for the Scrum team to do three things:

1. Inspects the previous day's work.
2. Plans the current day’s work. 
3. Identifies any barriers to getting things done. 

It’s called a standup because it’s so short you don’t need to sit down.

During the backlog refinement session, the team previews upcoming work to ensure the following:

• Outcomes are clearly defined.
• Supporting information is visible.
• Resources are accessible.

There is flexibility for when to hold the backlog refinement session.
