"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Backlog refinement is the process of reviewing, clarifying, and organizing product backlog items so they are ready for sprint planning. It involves adding detail, estimates, priorities, and acceptance criteria to user stories and tasks. Refine Backlog automates this process using AI."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "How does AI backlog refinement work?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Refine Backlog uses Claude AI to analyze your raw backlog items, deduplicate similar tasks, add clear problem statements, estimate effort using t-shirt sizing (S/M/L/XL), assign priorities (P0-P3), categorize work, and identify dependencies. You paste your items and get structured, sprint-ready stories back in seconds."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "How much does Refine Backlog cost?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Refine Backlog offers three plans: Free (10 items per session, 3 sessions/month, no signup required), Pro at $9/month (100 items per session, unlimited sessions), and Team at $29/month (500 items per session, team sharing & collaboration)."

"@type": "Answer",

}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Is my data secure?",
