Question

How does an agile team obtain clarity on backlog items that may be picked up in upcoming iterations?

Answer 1

It is important for developers to know exactly what is expected from each use case on the backlog. To obtain clarity and understand all of the requirements, cross-functional teams including developers, testers, users of the system, management, etc. should work together. Actors in the system should be interviewed, observed, or be given a questionnaire to figure out details regarding specific requirements.

Answer 2

There is no need for the previous clarity on the backlog for the upcoming iterations because while doing iterations, all the previous backlogs are concerned by the team they just resolve it for the current iterations.
