Ask HN: How to do grooming sessions efficiently?

1 pointfruktmix3 comments

My experience of our grooming sessions are that my co-workers talk about aprox 3 tickets for 1h and it feels like we get nothing done.

How do you guys do grooming sessions? How can we improve?

Have a retro about your grooming sessions so that you can bring this up and work together to make it better. Retros are not just for the previous sprint tasks

Also, time box things, there is a reason for the term

Will try to raise this next retro along with time boxing things. Thanks!

Feel free to email (in profile) me with more questions, I've given talks on this and helped various teams along the way. I was fortunate to be in the most exceptionally, truly agile office in my first job.
