Collaborative effort
Led by the product owner
Includes participation from internal and external
stakeholders as well as the Scrum Master and
development team
Stakeholders should allocate a sufficient amount
of time
The development team should allocate up to 10%
of its time each sprint for grooming activities

15. www.izenbridge.com 15
Initial grooming occurs as part of the
release-planning activity
The product owner might schedule grooming
workshop on regular interval
Teams may perform incremental grooming
after their daily scrums
Some grooming as part of the sprint review.

16. www.izenbridge.com 16
A requirements specification
disguised as a product backlog
Too many wish list items
Grooming neglected
Doing things early
