Thanks for the crisp video. The BAs run the Backlog grooming in support of the PO. Can you elaborate on the third point of the homework to be done before this session - "Review key metrics"?

Very clear and easy to follow but not much depth in terms of content explanation. I did find it helpful!

I'm disappointed that I don't see a Tech Writer on your list of essentials for backlog grooming.

Key note if you have multiple Sprints planned then you are not Agile and you are not following Scrum practices, you are now mini-Waterfall.
