Agility is critical in Agile product management. It’s right there in the name. Teams need to be able to align on plans and priorities, execute at speed and scale, and then be able to adapt in-flight as situations and priorities evolve.

Sprints get all the attention in Agile project management, and with good reason. That’s when all the work gets done. Ideas become features, and features converge into products. But there’s a step before the Sprint that makes this all possible: the backlog refinement meeting. Below, we’ll explore the unsung hero that is the backlog refinement meeting, and offer some insights into how to make yours successful.
