Benefits include improved understanding of work items, an \u201cunhiding\u201d of work, an appreciation for \u201cwhere\u201d refinement work resides \u2013 leading to greater confidence the work item has truly met the DoR prior to sprint planning.<br \/>We\u2019ll examine how to identify the team\u2019s refinement steps, how to turn those steps into a visual board, discuss whether a refinement board should follow the same cadence as the sprint board, and team interaction with the board. We\u2019ll conclude with some real-world examples<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/meetup.asvpm.org\/MeetupFiles\/\/2023\/MarkGrove\/GettingReadyBacklogRefinementBoard.mp4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Video File<\/strong><\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/meetup.asvpm.org\/MeetupFiles\/\/2023\/MarkGrove\/GettingToReadyASVPMMeetup.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Presentation File<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Identify (at least) three patterns that suggest a visual backlog refinement board could be right for you and your team<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Learn how to create a backlog refinement board using ideas and techniques borrowed from the Kanban method.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recognize benefits of creating a backlog refinement board.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Review some real-world examples I have used.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About The Speaker<\/strong>:<br \/><strong>Mark Grove<\/strong>&nbsp;is an Agile Coach and Managing Consultant with Excella in Arlington, VA.
