förfiningsmöte

A förfiningsmöte, which translates to "refinement meeting" in English, is a type of meeting common in agile software development methodologies. The primary purpose of a förfiningsmöte is to prepare and clarify upcoming work items for the development team. This typically involves discussing user stories, bugs, or technical tasks that are prioritized for future sprints or iterations.

During a förfiningsmöte, stakeholders, including product owners, business analysts, and members of the development team, collaborate to ensure that the work to be done is well-understood. This often includes breaking down large tasks into smaller, more manageable units, defining acceptance criteria, and estimating the effort required. The goal is to eliminate ambiguity and ensure that when a task enters a sprint, it is "ready" for the team to start working on it without significant delays or confusion.

Förfiningsmöten are crucial for maintaining a smooth workflow and maximizing the efficiency of development sprints. By proactively addressing questions and defining requirements, these meetings help prevent scope creep, reduce rework, and ensure that the team is working on the most valuable items. The frequency and format of förfiningsmöten can vary depending on the specific agile framework and the needs of the team, but they are generally held regularly, often multiple times per sprint.
