Use refinement time to discuss the work, not reconstruct it.

Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.

Before a planned refinement session, gather candidate stories from the team’s backlog and check them against the agreed Definition of Ready. Prepare separate product, business, and technical questions with the relevant context, then share a reviewable session brief so the team—not an automated score—decides what is ready.

Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.

What this workflow could do

Helps product owners, Scrum Masters, and engineers arrive at refinement with clearer stories and useful questions already assembled.

Review points proposed in this idea

A checklist can reveal missing detail but cannot decide business value, technical feasibility, or team commitment on its own. Keep the source story visible, let the team resolve uncertainties, and have a person approve any backlog change or external communication.

Proposed setup considerations

These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.

  1. 01

    Choose the team’s source of backlog items

    Identify the active backlog and the fields needed to understand each candidate story.

  2. 02

    Write the Definition of Ready

    Document the team’s current checklist and distinguish required information from helpful discussion prompts.

  3. 03

    Set session timing and recipients

    Choose how far ahead to prepare the brief and which team members should receive it.

  4. 04

    Assign backlog owners

    Name who can correct story details and approve any changes or team communications.

Read the prelaunch status

Published templates and verified customer availability remain pending.
