A team wants to improve their sprint planning efficiency. The Scrum Master recommends spending more time on backlog refinement before sprint planning. Why does this help?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Well-refined items (clear, estimated, sized) make sprint planning faster and more effective by reducing unknowns that would otherwise surface during planning

Explanation

Backlog refinement prepares items for sprint planning by ensuring they are: sufficiently understood (PO and team can discuss), estimated (story points assigned), appropriately sized (fits in one sprint), and have acceptance criteria. When sprint planning starts with well-refined items, the team spends less time clarifying requirements and more time on planning HOW to accomplish the sprint goal.
