2# Refinement Notes
3
4Refinement notes capture the outcomes of backlog refinement (grooming) sessions.what was discussed, what was estimated, and what decisions were made. They serve as a quick reference for team members who missed the session and a historical record of how stories evolved from idea to ready-for-sprint.

6## When to Use
7
8- During refinement sessions to capture decisions in real-time
9- After refinement to share outcomes with absent team members
10- When onboarding new team members to explain backlog context
11- Before sprint planning to review what's been refined
12- When stories need re-refinement due to time elapsed
13
14## When NOT to Use
15
16- You need the stories themselves written -> use `deliver-user-stories`
17- You need a general meeting summary, not a backlog-refinement record -> use `foundation-meeting-recap`
18- You are running the retrospective ceremony -> use `iterate-retrospective`
19- Refined stories need their failure scenarios enumerated -> use `deliver-edge-cases`

21## Instructions
22
23When asked to document refinement notes, follow these steps:

27
282. **List Stories Discussed**
29 For each story, capture the outcome: estimated points, refined status, key discussion points, and any modifications made to the original scope.
