Agile Project Management - Tip #19: Ensure to Experiment with the Amount of Refinement

The video tutorial emphasizes the importance of planning two sprints ahead in Scrum. It suggests starting with two to four hours of refinement per week and adjusting as needed. The Scrum guideline recommends spending 10% of the development team's time on refinement per sprint, equating to about one full day for a two-week sprint. Once two sprints ahead, teams should aim to stay within this timebox.
