Which activities occur during Product Backlog Refinement?

  1. Only reordering of items

  2. Estimating, adding, reordering, removing, merging, and splitting PBIs

  3. Prioritizing items based on cost

  4. Only adding new items

The correct answer is: Estimating, adding, reordering, removing, merging, and splitting PBIs

The selection is accurate because Product Backlog Refinement encompasses a range of activities essential to maintaining and improving the Product Backlog. This process involves estimating the effort required for items, adding new Product Backlog Items (PBIs) as necessary, and reordering existing items to reflect current priorities. Additionally, it includes removing items that are no longer relevant, merging similar items to streamline the backlog, and splitting larger items into smaller, more manageable ones for better planning and execution in upcoming sprints. This holistic approach ensures that the Product Backlog remains a dynamic, prioritized list that effectively guides the development team's focus on delivering value.
