Backlog refinement feels long. Your team still starts the sprint unready.
Join Mike Cohn for a live event on the 5 ways backlog refinement goes wrong and what to do instead, so backlog items come into the sprint smaller, clearer, and more ready.
Mike will show you why backlog refinement gets heavy, how to know when an item is refined enough, and how to make refinement lighter and more effective.
